Rishi Sunak has said he won't order Tory MPs to go easy on Boris Johnson when they interrogate him over Partygate lies.
The Commons Privileges Committee is expected to haul the ex-PM in for a grilling next week as part of their probe into whether he deliberately misled Parliament about lockdown boozing in No10.
If he is found to have deliberately lied about what he knew, he could be suspended from the Commons - which could even trigger a by-election in his seat.
