MORE pressure was piled on PM Boris Johnson by Tory MPs today to sack senior adviser Dominic Cummings over his road trip during the coronavirus lockdown.

On Tuesday, 30 Conservative MPs called on their leader to fire him, and minister Douglas Ross resigned from the government over the issue.

At a news conference on Monday, Mr Cummings defended his 260-mile drive from London to Durham in March, after the nation had been told not to travel.
