Further allegations have emerged about Boris Johnson, as two witnesses told ITV News they would "speak under oath" that he did make the "bodies pile high in their thousands" comments.
The prime minister, who will address his Cabinet on Tuesday, has denied he said he would rather have “bodies pile high in their thousands” than implement a third coronavirus lockdown.
But ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston says witnesses are willing to come forward at some point, and even speak under oath, should the PM continue to deny the comment.
On Monday evening, Peston added there is evidence of a third source backing the claim Mr Johnson made the comment "in a fit of rage".
"The prime minister said it didn’t happen," Peston said.
