Tory MP Steve Tuckwell , elected after Boris Johnson resigned from Parliament in disgrace, takes his oath in the House of Commons. Lindsay Hoyle’s office has been asked to provide an alternative to the current oath which sees MPs pledge to “bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors”.

They go on: “Forcing individuals to swear allegiance to the monarch contradicts their deeply held convictions and infringes upon their rights to freedom of belief and expression as enshrined in the Human Rights Act 1998 and protected under the European Convention on Human Rights
