Rachel Johnson has defended the Prime Minister over the Partygate scandal as he prepares to face a grilling from MPs in the Commons
Rachel Johnson has defended the Prime Minister over the Partygate scandal, following claims he "led celebrations" during a lockdown gathering.
It comes as the Prime Minister is set to address the Commons on Tuesday after having been fined for attending a gathering at No10 during the Covid pandemic.
She added: "I know the optics are terrible but everybody is easily putting the worst interpretation on every single episode.""These were laws that he had a hand in making himself. "Nobody else gets the right to say when charged with a criminal offence 'Oh well, I didn't know it was a criminal offence therefore it doesn't matter' so why should the Prime Minister be any different?
"I remember when we all thought that our leaders of public life should be people who had the highest moral standards and now we're falling over ourselves to make implausible excuses for the Prime Minister.
