Boris Johnson makes second surprise visit to Kyiv after pulling out of major red wall summit at the last minute
Sky News understands that one Conservative MP at the inaugural Northern Research Group Conference was furious the prime minister did not turn up to the event, adding they were told Mr Johnson "was on the train to Doncaster" in the morning.

Possibly not the right way to keep your fellow Tory MPs on your side.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
This story is in the print version of the Sunday Times, but seems to have disappeared form the online version (and the Mail on Sunday online)…

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
The Labour party thanks you for your service.

Feeling the heat, Sir Beergate? Starmer 'tells his preferred candidates to make plans to replace him amid fears of a Corbynite resurgence if he is fined and quits over boozy lockdown beer'
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has asked his party to line up replacements for him in case he has to resign over a boozy lockdown curry, it has emerged.
The Labour chief promised he would resign if Durham police fine him for an alleged breach of Covid rules.
What a strange thing to do if you are "innocent" of the dirty deed.

Quote:
Boris Johnson had a "minor routine operation related to his sinuses" under general anaesthetic at a London hospital on Monday morning, No 10 has said.
The prime minister had the operation at 06:00 BST and was back in Downing Street at 10:00.
A Downing Street spokesman said Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab would make any urgent decisions in his place.
They added that the PM's return to work would depend on how he was feeling.
However, he is expected to chair a meeting of his senior ministers on Tuesday morning and travel to a gathering of Commonwealth leaders later this week.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
Looks like the Deputy Editor of The Times, Tony Gallagher, under whose watch the article about Carrie Johnson was removed, was friendly with Johnson.
