Read our privacy policy Boris Johnson privately told MPs he would “do it again” in regard to Partygate, hours after his own anti-corruption tsar resigned over No 10’s response to the scandal. Asked about his initial claim in the House of Commons that no rules had been broken in No 10, Mr Johnson told MPs: “I’d do it again.” It came hours after Tory MP John Penrose, who had served as the government’s anti-corruption champion since December 2017, wrote a scathing resignation letter accusing the prime minister of breaching the ministerial code by failing to provide adequate leadership over Partygate. He said Mr Johnson had failed to address the Sue Gray report’s “very serious criticisms” of the leadership at Downing Street. Mr Norman said the Gray report showed Mr Johnson had “presided over a culture of casual law-breaking at 10 Downing Street”, adding: “To describe yourself as ‘vindicated’ by the report is grotesque.” A government source said Mr Johnson had been very specific when he told MPs he would “do it again”, and that he was referring to the fact that “he would thank staff for their hard work when they left his employment”.
