Exclusive: Boris Johnson faces ‘kangaroo court’ over inquiry into partygate ‘lies’, No 10 fears

The Telegraph  

If the MPs decide Mr Johnson has knowingly lied to the Commons and he is suspended from the House, it will almost certainly trigger another confidence vote in his leadership. The privileges committee said it had started work on examining whether Mr Johnson “misled the House” when he insisted that "all guidance was followed in Number 10" and that there was "no party" in Downing Street during the Covid lockdowns. The committee – comprising seven MPs, four Tories, two Labour and one from the SNP – wanted evidence of "Mr Johnson’s knowledge of the activities in 10 Downing Street and the Cabinet Office under Covid-19 regulations, from the occurrence of those events until now”, as well as “any briefing given to, or inquiries made by, Mr Johnson relating to those events". The committee also "confirmed it would be willing to take oral or written evidence from people who wish to remain anonymous" before July 29, raising the prospect of former or current colleagues of Mr Johnson giving evidence against him. Even though a report by Sue Gray, the senior civil servant, on Downing Street parties kept identities of witnesses secret, one No 10 source said it would be difficult for Mr Johnson to challenge anonymous evidence which effectively could be hearsay.
