'If only I could have been in a WhatsApp group sending GIFs to the Prime Minister'.

Labour MP Jess Phillips calls for an independent inquiry into "sleaze" claims.

She claims the row between Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings is "scrapping between two very powerful men who seem more interested in who's lying about what and who's leaking what than the substantive of the issue".

She says the main issue is about whether government contracts are given out by text message, or whether the PM "uses his pals" to get his flat refurbished.

"What we need is a proper independent inquiry that isn't about two boys fighting and is about taxpayers," Ms Phillips added.
