Former Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings has invited the public to “ask me anything” following the publication of Sue Gray’s report into partygate.
The much-anticipated report investigating alleged Downing Street parties is expected to be published this week, although the date is not confirmed.
Mr Cummings has submitted written evidence to Ms Gray’s investigation, he said in his blog on Monday.
Ms Gray is investigating a string of bombshell claims about lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street during the pandemic.
At the same time the prime minister has launched a Cabinet Office inquiry into allegations of Islamophobia after MP Nusrat Ghani claimed she was told she had been sacked as a junior minister because of concerns about her “Muslimness”.
Mr Johnson said he took the allegations “extremely seriously”.
