MPs will hold a debate on Thursday into whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled parliament over lockdown parties.

Mr Johnson has been accused of lying after the Metropolitan Police issued more than 50 fixed penalty notices over parties in Whitehall and Downing Street during Covid restrictions, including £50 fines for the Prime Minister, his wife Carrie and Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

MPs will vote on whether to refer the matter to the Privileges committee.

We asked people on the streets of Manchester today for their thoughts.
