BREAKING: Boris Johnson has reiterated claims that he did not mislead parliament over Partygate in a fresh TV appearance.
says he ‘believed implicitly’ that he was following Covid rules when he held gatherings in Downing St during lockdown.
Addressing a committee of MPs over claims he misled parliament about partygate, the former PM says it would have been ‘obvious’ if rules were being broken around him at Downing Street gatherings. Mr Johnson said that ‘after 10 months of effort and sifting’ the privileges committee has found “absolutely no evidence” to suggest otherwise.
He said there’s ‘absolutely nothing’ to show that any of his advisers or other civil servants had warned that the events would be in breach of COVID rules. ‘That definitely is a pretty astonishing gap given the huge amount of stuff that they have,’ he said.Got a story?
