Sir John Major has launched a stinging attack on Boris Johnson over parties in Downing Street, accusing the Prime Minister and his officials of breaking lockdown laws and of dreaming up “brazen excuses”.
The former Prime Minister’s excoriating intervention comes a day after the Metropolitan Police announced it was writing to more than 50 people, possibly including Mr Johnson, to ask for their explanation as to why they attended 12 gatherings at Downing Street and in Whitehall while Covid-19 restrictions were in place.
