The 38-year-old anchor has suggested that Mr Johnson must “reverse course if he has any hope of surviving as Prime Minister”. He said: “While all of us mugs were picking which relative or best friend we could go on a two-meter socially distanced walk with, our first social contact for two months.

“As is so predictably the case, Boris Johnson’s PartyGate cover-up has compounded the perilous state of his leadership tonight, as Tory backbenchers rightly ponder whether his benefit electorally has run out.

“It’s becoming increasingly obvious that in the medium-term this apology may not be enough to save his premiership.”

On Wednesday, Mr Johnson admitted for the first time he went to a drinks party in the garden of No 10 when the country was under strict lockdown measures.

He offered “heartfelt apologies” and said at the time he believed it to be a work event but in hindsight thinks he should have sent everyone home.

However, Mr Wootton believed that sending out an apology is just not enough for the country which has been put under severe restrictions once again.

He said: “The whole sorry saga of the Downing Street parties is categorical proof that the rules are not only inhumane, but they are impossible for any normal human being to follow.

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth based on numerous inside sources: Staff at Number 10 Downing Street have never worn masks at work.

“Yet our school kids are being forced to do so for up to eight hours a day.

“That is an outrage.”

Mr Wootton continued speaking about the changes that Mr Johnson must introduce as we move forward.

He said: “From this moment on, we should no longer be forced to work from home or wear masks as part of Plan B that I’ve always said was futile to begin with.

“That can only be the beginning of the change though.

“To win his backbenchers over, Boris must dramatically reverse his agenda and make Tories the low tax party once more.
