Boris to give evidence in inquiry into whether he lied to Parliament as committee says breaches were ‘obvious’

BORIS Johnson will give bombshell evidence to the Commons committee investigating Partygate in less than three weeks.

In a dramatic public hearing, the ex-PM will try to prove he didn’t knowingly lie to MPs about illegal gatherings in Downing Street during the pandemic.

It comes as Parliament’s Privileges Committee published its first report today, stating breaches of Covid guidance would have been “obvious” to Boris at some of the boozy events he attended.

It also said MPs have “evidence” the ex-PM’s press advisors “struggled” to justify themselves that rules were always followed.
