Downing Road has disowned claims {that a} parliamentary inquiry into the Partygate scandal might be a “kangaroo courtroom”, insisting that Boris Johnson trusts the cross-party committee to ship a good verdict.
Nevertheless, a spokesperson for No 10 wouldn’t decide to the prime minister giving proof to the inquiry in public and earlier than the TV cameras, saying solely that Downing Road would “help” the committee in its work.
No 10 appeared to have mounted a whispering marketing campaign in opposition to the essential probe into whether or not the prime minister knowingly misled parliament, after it introduced that whistleblowers may give nameless proof.
