Boris Johnson's bombshell Partygate defence dossier has been published - with a string of bizarre excuses about he couldn't possibly be to blame for misleading MPs.
The ex-Prime Minister admitted that his claims that no Covid rules were broken at lockdown bashes may have "misled" Parliament, when evidence shows he was at gatherings where police handed out fines for rule-breaking.
But he insisted there is "no evidence at all that supports an allegation that I intentionally or recklessly misled the House", as he scrambles to save his political career.
