Glasgow Live readers have shared their opinions on whether Boris Johnson should continue in his position as UK Prime Minister.
The scepticism comes after it was reported that the Metropolitan Police have began handing out fines to those who attended a 'Bring Your Own Booze' party during the first lockdown in 2020, an event the PM is alleged to have attended.
Number 10 has confirmed that the PM has not received a fine as of yet, however this has not stopped the questions and criticism from his political opponents, as well as the public, some of whom are calling for him to step down.
Johnson will have to wait until after the local elections to find out if he will receive a fine from the Metropolitan Police, additionally the PM will also have the issue of Sue Gray's report to attend to.
The PM will be feeling the pressure after yesterday's Prime Minister's Questions where Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer blasted the PM over the cost of living crisis.

With local council elections not far away, we asked our readers to share their thoughts of Johnson and if he should be expected to stand down now.
One reader, lzeph fumed: "Yes, of course he should resign Firstly because he acted like the rules were beneath him, let the common people make the sacrifices, while he gets to party.
"And secondly because he lied about it, and lied, and lied and lied. He and his mates have done untold damage to democracy and the rule of law in the UK, because they only care about their own self-interest."

Glasgow Live reader JacqueL5 added: "He needs to go ASAP. He is a liar and a man who thinks he is untouchable."
However, one reader defended the Prime Minister, DrM said: "Please stop this nonsense. Boris saved thousands of lives by refusing to join the EU vaccine acquisition and thousands of jobs through furlough.
"He is now leading Europe in facing off Putin. No other UK politician could have achieved this."
The heat around Johnson continued to increase as he faced off against Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, at PMQ's, where Starmer lambasted the PM over the cost of living crisis.
Starmer said: "A vote for Labour next week is a vote for a very different set of choices. We would ask oil and gas companies to pay their fair share and reduce energy costs.
"We wouldn't hammer working people with the worst possible tax at the worst possible time."
Starmer also accused the PM of hiding from the crisis by saying: "He is an ostrich, perfectly happy keeping his head in the sand."
Johnson responded : "This guy is doomed to be a permanent spectator. We have a plan to fix the NHS and fix social care, they have no plan.
"We have a plan to fix our borders with our deal with Rwanda, they have no plan. We have a plan to take our economy forward, they have no plan."
