The four candidates in the current Tory leadership contest have been urged to condemn his remarks, as he was accused of insulting “everyone who lost family members” during the Covid pandemic. The four candidates in the Tory leadership race have been urged to condemn Boris Johnson’s Partygate remarks In his new memoir Unleashed, Mr Johnson said he made the "mistake" of issuing "pathetic" and "grovelling" apologies over the scandal which "made it look as though we were far more culpable than we were". Mr Johnson also hit out at David Cameron’s handling of the aftermath of the Brexit vote, suggesting it was “not normal” for the former prime minister to “evacuate the stage” after the referendum. “So, it’s not normal for the prime minister having asked for a referendum vote suddenly to evacuate the stage.” In response to the findings of the privileges committee, Mr Johnson called their conclusions “deranged” and “the final knife-thrust in a protracted political assassination”.
