Boris Johnson allies given stark warning over criticism of partygate inquiry

The Telegraph  

Boris Johnson’s allies have been warned that they may face contempt of Parliament charges if they continue to criticise its investigation into whether the former prime minister misled MPs over partygate. The privileges committee has fired a shot across the bows of the former prime minister’s supporters, who have attacked its inquiry as being “rigged” and a “witch hunt”. MPs on the body have said they will nonetheless examine the former prime minister’s intentions and this “may become one of the key issues of the inquiry”. “In the exceptional circumstance that the public interest makes such a step necessary, we will publish proposals for a fair process and Mr Johnson will be invited to comment.” The committee is chaired by Harriet Harman, a Labour MP, who has denied suggestions that MPs have moved the goalposts to try and bring down the former prime minister.
