When asked if he would fight a leadership challenge, Boris Johnson deflected questions and chose instead to focus on "clearing COVID backlogs".

Speaking to reporter Anushka Asthana from ITV on behalf of all broadcasters, the Prime Minister briefly addressed allegations of "blackmail" against MPs, saying he had seen "no evidence".

He also discussed rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine, saying any kind of incursion by Russia would be a "disaster for Ukraine, for Russia and for the world".
