PMQs – Johnson doubles down on claims there was no party at Number 10

 

Boris Johnson has doubled down on claims that he has had ‘assurances’ that no rules were broken at Downing Street over a Christmas party.

Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions, the prime minister said: “I apologise for the impression that has been given… I’m sickened myself and furious.”

An incredulous Starmer said: “The prime minister, the government, spent the week telling us there was no party. The public now think the prime minister was taking them for fools.”
