This morning Boris will be appearing in front of the committee to answer questions regarding the 'partygate' scandal. Allegations suggest that he deliberately misled Parliament in regards to lockdown-breaking events held at Number 10, including his own Birthday party. Despite admitting yesterday that some of his earlier statements on the matter were wrong, Johnson insists he did not do so 'intentionally or recklessly'.

This morning, Boris will appear in front of the committee in order to answer questions about his alleged mismanagement of the 'partygate' scandal. During the pandemic, a number of lockdown-breaking events were held at Number 10, including Johnson's own birthday. If it is found that he deliberately misled Parliament, he could be suspended from his role as an MP, potentially resulting in a by-election in his west London constituency.

Yesterday, Johnson admitted that some of the statements he made when the story first broke had been incorrect but maintained that they were not made ‘intentionally or recklessly’. A report by the committee earlier this month indicated that Johnson was present at gatherings that breached social distancing rules.

In response to the allegations, Johnson issued a statement last night in which he voiced his excitement to appear before the committee. He argued that the evidence showed that he had not knowingly or recklessly misled Parliament and that the committee had not provided any proof to the contrary.
