LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday “Categorical” denied claims by his former head of the aide that he lied to the parliament of the detained street party.
But it appeared in public for the first time after the days of Covid’s self isolation, Johnson also ducked the question of whether he would resign if the internal investigation he lied.
Johnson fought against damaging allegations that he and staff attend drunk events during Covid restrictions, encouraging investigation by senior civil servants demanding gray.
Wahyu has sparked public anger, which leads to a double leader in the poll for the main opposition workers for Johnson’s conservative, and calls from several Tories for him to stop.
Johnson has apologized for a party on May 20, 2020 at the Old Street Garden, told the parliament last week he thought it was a “work event”, even though there were ajudan that invited staff to “bring liquor”.
But the former senior adviser the former combined Dominic Cummings, who has made Vendetta against Johnson since leaving Downing Street at the end of 2020, he warned his boss about the event at the time.
“I can tell you firmly that no one tells me, no one says this is something that opposes the rules, that it is a violation of Covid rules, that it is something that is not a work event,” Johnson said.
‘Crazy house’
“Frankly, I can’t imagine why on earth it will be allowed to continue,” he told reporters during a visit to the London Hospital.
Hanging his head with regret, Johnson also renewed his office’s apology to Queen Elizabeth II after appearing that his staff arrested the party during the national mourning for her husband, Prince Philip, in April 2021.
Johnson’s refusal carefully, looked clearly clearly from personal mistakes even if there was a mistake by the staff, and relied on narrow liberation for work meetings during locking.
But as the latest of a series of combustion blog posts, Cummings wrote that he told Johnson that Downing Street became a “Madhouse” boozy. The prime minister “waved”, he said.
“Only 20 May events, have never advised a series of other events, meaning PM lying to the parliament about the party,” said Cummings, added that he was ready to swear on his account “at the oath”.
Cummings will provide gray evidence as part of his investigation, British media reported.
Six conservatives have openly called for Johnson’s resignation, although more reported has done it personally.
Fifty-four letters from MPS Tory are needed to trigger vote without confidence, with the indication that constituents have made their feelings about Johnson known as their local representatives during the weekend – and not in a positive way.
Asked whether he would retreat, Johnson said: “We must see what he said (Gray).
“I repeated my deep apology to people for mistakes that might be made on my watch,” he said.
‘Resigned material’
Senior Minister of Johnson’s colleagues have rambed it, urging the public to wait for the conclusion of Gray’s investigation, which is expected in the coming days.
But Dominic Raab, Deputy Secretary of Premier and Justice, acknowledged that the lies were proven by a minister “usually under the Minister’s code, and the government around the parliament, became a problem that resigned”.
And in the comments on his first camera on Wahyu, a strong finance minister Rishi Sunak said “the Minister’s code is clear about these things”.
“I fully support the request of the prime minister for patience because this investigation continues,” said Sunak, which led to a strong competitor to take over from Johnson in any leadership contest.
Pressed on whether the prime minister had his firm support, Sunak then broke the interview and walked with his microphone still attached.
The opposition workers were firm in revealing their demands for Johnson to stop following the Cummings blog.
