Boris Johnson urges privileges committee to publish 'nonsense' Partygate report on whether he lied to MPs
The former prime minister played down Partygate allegations during his time in No10 and claimed advisers told him the rules and guidance had been followed. He told the Commons that social distancing was observed.
The committee, of which four of the seven MPs are Conservatives, is expected to present its findings on Wednesday. In a statement on Tuesday evening, the former PM Boris Johnson said: "The privileges committee should publish their report and let the world judge their nonsense."Their absurdly unfair rules do not even allow any criticism of their findings.
