staff to let off steam as covid rules were broken. the i describes the prime minister as facing a �*triple threat�* over the downing street parties. mps return on tuesday, he'll face prime minister's questions and a possible vote of censure too. the daily mail says ministers have rounded on the the archbishop of canterbury after he criticised the uk's plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda. meanwhile, the daily express describes the same story as mps attacking the archbishop of canterbury over his criticsim of the rwanda migrants plan. the guardian's front page highlights that women in the poorest areas of england are dying earlier than the average female in almost every comparable country in the world. so let's begin... lots to get through. we are going to start on the downing street parties as we had seen on quite a few of the

the prime minister himself to defend, to tank best line of defence and say, i didn't realise i was breaking the coronavirus rules when you have accepted a fine for it, so it will be interesting to see how that one stands up under fire from the opposition benches and for everybody else on tuesday, too. nigel, people will bring it back to their own experiences because there were many times when people were obeying the letter of the rules, the letter of the law, even if in some certain convoluted circumstances it seemed a bit strange or a bit extreme, people did bathe those, and they will reflect on their own experiences when they listen to the words of the prime minister. —— they did obey those. find words of the prime minister. -- they did obey those-— did obey those. and that is why eo - le did obey those. and that is why people are _ did obey those. and that is why people are angry _ did obey those. and that is why people are angry about - did obey those. and that is why people are angry about it, - did obey those. and that is why . people are angry about it, because people _ people are angry about it, because people did — people are angry about it, because people did obey the rules. and what has happened in the last week since the promise was fined, tory mp in boxes _ the promise was fined, tory mp in boxes have — the promise was fined, tory mp in boxes have been filling up with experiences that people are relating about— experiences that people are relating about the _
