EXCLUSIVE: Partygate inquiry report delayed due to new evidence
Partygate: here’s a shot of Boris Johnson at a Downing Street party that took place during Covid-19 lockdown. Did he mislead Parliament about them?
A report by MPs on whether Boris Johnson misled Parliament over the so-called ‘Partygate’ scandal has been delayed, not because it might interfere with the local elections, but because the inquiry received new evidence.
That is what the House of Commons’ Privileges Committee told This Writer today (May 2).
In response to a query prompted by a press report claiming that there were concerns that the committee’s final report might unduly influence voting in the local elections, a spokesperson stated:
Since taking oral evidence from Mr Johnson on 22 March the Committee has sought and received further written evidence.
The timing of publication of the Committee’s final report will be announced on its website in due course.
Is there time for media speculation on what the “further written evidence” was and how it might affect the outcome?

I have no longer any trust or faith in the political process.There will be no arrest, no prosecution. Wrong doing is just a joke to MPs. Flash a bit of cash, and all will be covered up, or at least played down….These crooks have been taking the piss out of us for far too long! Nothing will be done to clean up Parliament.
