Boris Johnson’s ‘bombshell’ that will ‘exonerate him from partygate’
PM set to unleash ‘defence dossier’ that will he believes will debunk claims he deliberately misled Parliament, say allies #ToriesOUT254#SunakOut145
Boris Johnson is preparing to unveil “bombshell” evidence that he believes will exonerate him over partygate, according to his allies.
Ahead of a grilling by the House of Commons privileges committee on Wednesday, the former prime minister’s legal team is finalising its defence
to claims that he knowingly and deliberately misled MPs about lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street.
His “bombshell defence dossier”, as his friends call it, will include messages from Mr Johnson’s advisers sent shortly before he spoke in Parliament advising him
A leaked cache of government messages has revealed how Simon Case, the current head of the Civil Service, said to Matt Hancock the public needed to be told to isolate by “trusted local figures, not nationally distrusted figures like the PM”. #ToriesOut241 telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/0…
The description of Mr Johnson is likely to be embarrassing for the Cabinet Secretary and potentially the former prime minister, whose character is being questioned - and who appointed Mr Case to his position. #ToriesOut241#SunakOut132#GeneralElectionNow #EnoughIsEnough
The conversation between the then health secretary and Mr Case took place on Oct 30 2020, as the Government was expanding its testing capability.
And now the Tories come out attacking Case - the pressure is building
Hilarious when you think of
- Partygate
- Richard Sharp

Tories accuse Simon Case of left-wing bias over Covid rules

Britain’s top civil servant has been accused of left-wing bias by senior Tories after he dismissed concerns about Covid rules as “pure Conservative ideology”.
Simon Case is facing questions over his political impartiality and conduct during the pandemic,
This just goes to show that the Tories are totally unable to get a story straight
In this article Dan Hodges throws his few pennies in
This headline relates to late Dec #ToriesOut240#SunakOut131#GeneralElectionN0W
- Yesterday she was an agent of Labour in early 2022 when undertaking the Sue Gray report
- Yet yesterday it was reported Badenoch wanted to promote her and Case blocked the appointment and Sunak failed to intervene and that was February
It would be useful if the Tories could at least give one consistent version of events
Then in the article the usual fantasy and conspiracy is invested - she has been leaking information......
No concern it seems when Badenoch wanted to promote her

It is not the first time Mr Zahawi, an MP since 2010, has faced financial controversy.
Mr Zahawi was paid more than £1 million over two years as a part-time adviser to an oil company operating in the Gulf.
However, his income at the time from Gulf Keystone Petroleum
was met with criticism from shareholders — who had seen their investment drop from a share price of 425p to 104p. There was no suggestion of any impropriety by Mr Zahawi.
He worked as chief strategy officer for Gulf Keystone Petroleum,
a British oil and gas exploration and production company in Iraq.
During his time at the company from 2015 to 2017, he accrued more than £1 million in salary and bonuses, according to his registered list of interests.
