The former PM is being investigated over whether he told the truth about parties held at Downing Street during lockdown
Boris Johnson has sent an 11th hour letter to the committee investigating whether he misled Parliament over parties held during lockdown. The former PM is being investigated by Westminster's Privileges Committee over whether he told the truth about parties held at Downing Street during the coronavirus pandemic.
Following the announcement of the delay, Boris called on the committee to publish what he called its "nonsense" findings. He has said he will comment further on the report after it has been released. Meanwhile, Johnson's allies have threatened revenge on MPs as he faces being shamed over Partygate when the committee publishes its findings. It is expected to find that the former PM deliberately misled Parliament over a number of lockdown-busting gatherings in Downing Street.
The Conservative Democracy was set up by Johnson's most vocal cheerleaders, and has criticised how Rishi Sunak was appointed as Tory leader without a vote of members. Johnson provided a signed magnum of Bollinger Rose wine as a raffle prize for its conference last month.
