A Tory ally of Boris Johnson has demanded police “butt out” of the Partygate saga.
Daniel Moylan, who the Prime Minister gave a House of Lords seat in 2020, said he was “astonished” when Scotland Yard began probing 12 lockdown events in Downing Street and Whitehall.
Lord Moylan moaned police enforcement of lockdown was only normally used for “egregious acid house parties”, tweeting: “Time for the police to butt out of this farcical investigation.”
