LIVE: Boris Johnson press conference after explosive Sue Gray report into Partygate published.

BORIS Johnson will say sorry to the nation over Partygate in a grovelling No10 press conference this afternoon.

The PM has a punishing day of awkward questions over the Sue Gray report into Downing Street lockdown breaking - with an apology at PMQs expected, followed by a public address at a press conference later today.

His weekly audience with the Queen is also pencilled in for tonight as BoJo faces the music over dozens of rule-breaking breaking gatherings at the heart of government at the height of Covid.

Mr Johnson will also try to soothe baying Tory critics with a closed-door meeting of Conservative MPs later - in a packed day of Partygate pressure.

Cabinet enforcer Gray is due to hand her long delayed findings to No10 this morning, with insiders braced for fresh boozy pictures and grim details of rule-breaking.

Whitehall sources say some "relevant" photographs submitted to her inquiry - including those taken by No10's 'vanity snappers' - will be published when the report finally surfaces today.

Just two days ago, bombshell pics showing Boris raising a toast while surrounded by bottles of booze were leaked.

The photos show the PM lifting a glass while surrounded by staff at a leaving do for his comms chief Lee Cain on November 13, 2020.

At the time meetings between people from separate households were prohibited - unless they were in an "exclusive support bubble".

Cops did NOT fine Mr Johnson over the event and only stung him for a single birthday bash in the Cabinet Room.
