Nicola Sturgeon yesterday called Boris Johnson a "danger to democracy" after the Prime Minister was left clinging to his job amid a Tory party revolt.

The First Minister described Johnson as someone who did not play "by the normal rules of politics" and would otherwise be out in weeks.

The SNP leader slammed the PM after opening the new HQ of the Scottish Trades Union Congress in the east end of Glasgow.

She spoke after some Tories hinted Johnson could call an early general election in an attempt to silence his party critics.

Sturgeon said: "If Boris Johnson calls an election it's because he knows he's finished and he wants to take everybody in his party down with him.

"Do I believe Boris Johnson is capable of such a selfish act? Yes, I do and that is something his own party should be thinking of.
