Are the Conservatives stuck with Boris Johnson?

Why the Prime Minister still looks set to lead the party into the next general election

By Andrew Marr, Anoosh Chakelian, Ailbhe Rea and Freddie Hayward

As MPs debate the fallout from partygate, Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Andrew Marr, political editor, and Freddie Hayward, political reporter, to discuss why Boris Johnson may still be safe as PM and the opinions of Conservatives about their leader.

Then in a special section on Northern Ireland, Ailbhe Rea reports from Belfast on what is becoming a very tense Stormont election.
