has suggested the Government passed entries from his pandemic diary to the police to influence a parliamentary inquiry that could lead to the former prime minister being ousted from the Commons.
The committee has the power to suspend Mr Johnson from the Commons if he is found guilty of misleading MPs. Pressed by Kuenssberg to provide evidence for her suggestions, Ms Dorries replied: “The only people that were acting inappropriately and making false claims are those who have sent these diaries off to the police and off to the Privileges Committee just a few weeks before the Privilege Committee was about to report on its findings.”
But anonymous allies of Mr Johnson have briefed the Sunday newspapers to blame Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden and Jeremy Quin, the senior ministers of the Cabinet Office, for putting their former leader in the spotlight over lockdown breaches again.
