BoJo referred to police by the Cabinet Office. Partygate II?
Quote:
Boris Johnson referred to police over new lockdown rulebreaking claims
Papers from Covid era show friends visited Chequers during lockdown
Boris Johnson has been referred to police by the Cabinet Office over new claims he broke lockdown rules after his ministerial diary revealed visits by friends to Chequers during the pandemic.
The Cabinet Office has passed concerns to the Metropolitan Police and Thames Valley police after several visits to the prime minister’s grace and favour residence were highlighted during preparations for a public inquiry into the pandemic.
The privileges committee, which is investigating claims that Johnson misled parliament over lockdown-breaking parties, has been informed. Johnson was made aware of the concerns last week and has since written to the Cabinet Office denying rulebreaking.
The development will intensify pressure on Johnson, who is already fighting for his political future. The privileges committee is due to report back next month and if it recommends suspending the prime minister for more than 10 days he could face a by-election.

Re: BoJo referred to police by the Cabinet Office. Partygate II?
It won't be PartyGate 2 as he isn't relevant any longer and no one is surprised. His few remaining disciples will go to their grave defending his right to impose restrictions on the public that he didn't follow but that's it.
Pretty stupid though. He gave this evidence himself to the lawyers.

Rolf Harris has a better chance of a comeback now.

More oxygen for the reasons to remove the Party of sleaze & corruption.

It's more sleaze around the Party, a perception which Sunak hoped to move away from. And it might mean a by election...though I'm aware this has been said before and has not happened.
Braverman and Partygate II. The popcorn makers are going to be busy over the next few weeks!

And he would of got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky civil servants in the Cabinet Office and their blatant left wing agenda.

Re: BoJo referred to police by the Cabinet Office. Partygate II?
There seems to be plenty of of people with the attitude of “it was years ago, let it go”.
No, let’s not let it go. He won’t ever get prosecuted for spaffing billions to his mates, he won’t get prosecuted for lying to the Queen, selling us his “oven ready deal” based on complete horseshit so let’s get him for whatever we can get on him.
I’ve never been a Tory fan but I have never detested them more than I did during his reign of terror.

Hopefully, Johnson did not break the rules again. But as he's a sitting MP, it's still relevant. Expect questions in the Commons today about this and the Braverman story. And the more frequent use of the sleaze adjective in connection with the Conservative Party, potentially increasing the Party's losses at the next election.

BREAKING
Boris Johnson allies up the ante and warn they will obstruct Rishi Sunak’s government unless he intervened to stop what they see as a ‘witch hunt’
They say it’s the ‘final straw’ for Johnson and warn that MPs and members supportive of former PM will begin organising
|
I don't think Johnson has enough allies to make this work and even amongst the few he has I doubt they will go to the bat for him on this issue now. I suspect this 'allies' consist of him and Nadine Dorris.
Still it shows how for Boris Johnson it's always about, and was always about, Johnson's ego.
