Boris Johnson Speaks On Flouting Covid Norms | Rishi Sunak Vs Boris Johnson In U.K. Parliament
Boris Johnson has attempted to draw Rishi Sunak deeper into the Partygate scandal by suggesting that if Covid rules had been broken in Downing Street, then it should have been “obvious” to the current prime minister, too.
As he began his lengthy evidence session in front of the privileges committee, which is investigating whether he deliberately misled MPs over lockdown gatherings, Johnson rejected suggestions that he should have been aware.
“If it was obvious to me these events were contrary to the guidance and the rules, it must have been equally obvious to dozens of others, including the most senior officials in the government, most of them like me responsible for drawing up the rules,” he told MPs.
