Sir Keir Starmer demands Boris Johnson apologise to the nation over Owen Paterson sleaze row ahead of emergency debate
Sir Keir has also called for action against disgraced MP Rob Roberts, who was readmitted to the Conservative Party despite breaking parliament's sexual misconduct policy.
Ahead of an emergency Commons debate on standards at Westminster, Sir Keir said Mr Johnson needed to act to clean up politics.
It comes as former Tory deputy PM Michael Heseltine told Sky News he cannot "disagree" with Sir John Major's assessment that recent behaviour of Mr Johnson's government could be considered "politically corrupt"
Sir Keir has also called for action against disgraced MP Rob Roberts, who was readmitted to the Conservative Party despite breaking parliament's sexual misconduct policy...
Sir Keir also demanded a "full, transparent investigation" into how Randox - one of the firms that paid Mr Paterson - came to win COVID-19 testing contracts.
He said it was "vital the public has confidence that Owen Paterson's paid advocacy did not influence these decisions".
The Liberal Democrats, who secured the emergency debate, have called for an independent statutory public inquiry into sleaze and corruption allegations.

Totally agree.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
The best way for an MP to avoid conflicts of interests is by having no other jobs.
