Labour has called Boris Johnson's involvement in the partygate saga "indefensible".Labour has called Boris Johnson's involvement in the partygate saga "indefensible" as fresh allegations emerged about the Prime Minister's conduct.The Sunday Times said Mr Johnson is expected to deliver a statement when MPs return to the Commons on Tuesday, where he will not deny wrongdoing but will point towards the wider context, including the war in Ukraine.
The Sunday Times reported the Prime Minister's official photographer had captured photographs of Mr Johnson holding a beer at the gathering, and Mr Sunak with a soft drink. A source suggested to the Sunday Times this had started as the press office having drinks to finish off the week, but turned into a party once the Prime Minister arrived, poured drinks and made a speech.
Downing Street declined to comment when approached by the PA news agency and has repeatedly said it would not comment until the police investigation concludes.Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner said: "While the British public was making huge sacrifices, Boris Johnson was breaking the law. The Chancellor referred himself for investigation by Lord Geidt last week after his wife Akshata Murty's non-domiciled tax status and the couple's holding of US green cards came to light.
