As the Prime Minister fights for his political survival Paul Waugh of The i paper analyses the latest developments from Westminster

Paul Waugh of The i paper is joined by Conservative MP Sir Edward Leigh and Labour MP Dame Margaret Beckett to discuss allegations of rule-breaking parties in Downing Street and what they mean for the Prime Minister's future.  Former Cabinet Secretary Lord Butler assesses the role of civil service inquiries in determining Prime Ministerial fates.  Dr Hannah White of The Institute for Government discusses whether the so-called 'partygate' row is symptomatic of a wider political problem.  And two veteran political journalists - Michael Crick and Libby Wiener - debate political resignations and where this crisis will end up.
