Boris Johnson has twice refused to deny that he asked Sue Gray not to publish her controversial partygate report as he vowed not to resign.
The Prime Minister chose his words carefully as he blustered his way through a Downing Street press conference after facing opposition anger in the Commons and ahead of a showdown with his own MPs.
Asked again at the press conference whether he had if he suggested to Sue Gray that she not publish her report at all,the Prime Minister responded: “The terms of reference make it absolutely clear that Sue has got to publish a report and it’s entirely right that she has.”
