Boris Johnson will receive the long-awaited report into parties in Downing Street and Whitehall in "the coming hours or days", Sky News understands - as police denied trying to delay publication.

The Cabinet Office is weighing up when to publish its partygate report in the wake of the Metropolitan Police asking for "minimal reference" to be made to the events it is investigating, Sky News understands.

Theresa May has said she is "angry" at the partygate revelations engulfing Boris Johnson, her successor in Number 10.

The publication of the Sue Gray report into alleged Downing Street COVID breaches could be delayed even further after the police requested it remove most references to events they are investigating.

Downing Street has denied Boris Johnson is going "wobbly" over the planned national insurance increase in April.
