Boris Johnson: What are the new claims against the former Prime Minister?

Boris Johnson was referred to the police over new claims he broke lockdown rules as his ministerial diary revealed that friends went to the Prime Minister's country retreat at Chequers during the pandemic.

In the next few weeks an MPs' committee is due to rule on a potential punishment - over other breaches in Downing Street.

Our Political Correspondent Joe Pike reports.

Is Johnson seriously saying that he should have been asked about the evidence of him breaking the law before it was reported to the police?

As for the Tory Johnson fanboy suggesting that we shouldn't investigate crimes committed by Conservative Government ministers, and, that the civil service should be in the cross hairs because they have highlighted evidence of crimes. He is wrong on every thing.

How this lot can question the civil service is beyond belief

[ppodism]

“We’ve dealt with this” - no, the evidence available was examined; there’s now other evidence and that needs to be examined and due process followed

Narcissist are attracted to jobs of power and currently UK government is overflowing with them !

[renmanincltd]

Boris is what used be called a wrong un!!@ 😮

[reggiejames]

Johnson pledging to tell 'the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth' is one of the most iconic moments in British comedy history

JOHNSON and his Cronies Partied while Doctors and Nurses on the Front line were trying to Save People's lives. Utterly Shameless.

No wonder the country has become a basket case when the government is constantly partying no stop

[willmac]

The 'frankly we shd move on' guy is a disgrace ! What about the millions who lost a loved one /whose relations died alone.

[leebex]

We've not even had his parliamentary investigation review yet.

[skycandyproductions]

What dose it matter what they charge him with its proven time after time nothing will happen to him. It's another distraction

[samsunggalaxy]

Do as i say not as i one rule for one and one rule for the rest of us...

[daquidi]

how dare the civil servants not covering up crimes by the elite and political class.

[ivanconnolly]

Peroxide hamster peed behind curtains again.

[thebiglebisto]

I wouldn't trust politicians or bankers/elites to run a bath let alone a country, even if I put the plug & ran the taps they'd still F it up 😂😂😂

[monkeyboy]

This isnt about partygate. It's about stopping Boris returning as leader - he's been knifed by his own party.

[andrewcole]

Concentrating on the least important things when the deficit is up from 14 to 24 billion a month. The MSM and most MPs clearly do not know any better and that is frightening.

[MaroonedInDub]

The Civil Service is broken. It must be fixed or relaced.

[philipjohnkaye]

It's unbelievable, month after month, scandal after scandal, yet they keep insisting that nothing is

[johntaylor]

HE SEEMS TO GET AWAY WITH EVERY THING, MURDOCH WANT PRINT ANYTHING AVBOUT HIS PUPPET ON A STRING BORIS,
