'Partygate photos prove Boris Johnson is a liar who deliberately misled Parliament'

Raising a glass of wine in front of a table strewn with empty bottles in damning photographs, Boris Johnson is nailed as a liar who deliberately misled Parliament.

He was already the first Prime Minister in history to be fined as a lawbreaker over another lockdown breach at a birthday party.

Now Tory MPs will become his accomplices if they fail to sack a scoundrel treating them and the country with grotesque contempt.

Johnson had specifically denied the pictured party – for departing communications chief Lee Cain – took place on November 13, 2020.

Labour’s Catherine West had asked in the Commons: “Can the Prime Minister tell the House whether there was a party in Downing Street on 13 November?” Johnson lied: “No, but I’m sure whatever happened the guidance... and the rules were followed at all times.”

There was a party and the rules do not appear to have been followed.

Ahead of Sue Gray’s report, the Met Police must explain why Johnson was not fined again.

Johnson has built a career on lying and must be fired for failing to tell the truth. Again.

Sue Gray is due to publish her report in the next few days (PA)

Act on dogs

How many more people must die before the Government acts on dangerous dogs?

A 62-year-old man has become the latest victim while the beast was euthanised by a vet at a property in Wrexham, north Wales, where, locals say, American Bullies were bred.

Fans of the breed insist they are good companions but another lost life requires a thorough investigation and review of the law.

Responsible pet owners have nothing to fear from a clampdown on killer dogs.

Get well soon

We wish a speedy recovery to all those people diagnosed with monkeypox, a virus which is usually confined to West and Central Africa.

But this is no Covid pandemic, so keep calm and carry on, unless you’ve had close contact with a victim – in which case the guidance says isolate for three weeks.
