JOHNSON GOVT ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT FOCUS FROM 'SLEAZE' CLAIMS

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson chairs a cabinet meeting later (on Tuesday) at which he'll attempt to move focus on from allegations of sleaze surrounding his government.

Mr Johnson is under pressure over the renovation of his residence and a number of reported comments he made about lockdowns and covid-19 fatalities.

Downing Street says many of the claims are 'rubbish', but opposition Labour says he owes the country a full explanation.

Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth says the Prime Minister's conduct is being called into question.
