He was investigated. he has an adviser on standards to look into this whole matter earlier in the year. he used to work for the queen. brought in by borisjohnson, had to look into this because there were questions swirling around, how was the refurbishment paid for? we know now that it cost over £100,000. and what borisjohnson said at the time was he didn t know how he d paid for it. it had come through a trust. now what came out this week were messages suggesting that borisjohnson s messages suggested he may have known where this money was coming from. he perhaps doesn t know the exact source. but if he misled that advice, that s the question. that would be a very serious offence. michael, the day after the video emerged, ....
Leaked on wednesday, apparently by someone inside the british government, an allegation knocking around for more than a week has become weaponised. borisjohnson insists he wasn t in number ten at the time. if he fumbles this one, he may not be in there for very much longer. damian, how did an allegation about a party become a threat to borisjohnson s longevity as prime minister? well, i should actually say first of all, we have been told by quite a few sources that absolutely, there was a party. there s a lot of wriggling around the issue, but there was. this is last christmas in the run up, and the reason it s such a big issue is at the time, the government told everyone in the uk you could not meet indoors for an event like that, and many, many people at the time went to great lengths to follow the rules. they didn t visit elderly or dying relatives. yet what came out first of all was the news that there ....

In government. and also, this plays well for sir keir starmer, who is the exact opposite of borisjohnson. he s not a jolly guy cracking jokes the whole time. he s a serious guy, but he has the lawyer s background, as a former head of criminal prosecutions, and it s played quite well for him to be able to forensically take apart some of these things. so i think that s why it s dangerous that if suddenly people are seeing the reality of borisjohnson, the tory party is panicking because they ve made a faustian pact to get through brexit, to win an election with someone that most of them knew was not suited to the top job. then along came the pandemic, exposing how he was not suited for the topjob, and now i think. i mean, i ve spoken to tory mps who are extraordinarily concerned, and some believe and some hope that borisjohnson will be replaced pretty shortly after christmas. thank you all very much. let s move on. ....
