NEW: Health Secretary Sajid Javid says he ducked out of interviews yesterday because he was “upset by that video” leaked to ITV News of Downing Street staff “laughing and smiling about Christmas parties”.
Sajid Javid says it wouldn’t be appropriate to “prejudge the outcome of the internal investigation”, which is exactly why Boris Johnson promised one. It buys the government time and allows them to bat away every question from now until it concludes.
“I’m not quite sure why she resigned” says Sajid Javid of Allegra Stratton. If the rules were followed, then what was the need for her to go?
“I have received assurances which are very important to me” that no rules were broken, says Sajid Javid.
You get the distinct impression that he has only agreed to go on the air waves this morning with the explicit promise that there was no party… if there was, does he resign?
