Partygate: Johnson focuses on Ukraine, not police questionnaire, says government member

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be distracted from focusing on tensions between Ukraine and Russia by a police questionnaire sent to him about parties during his lockdown in his Downing Street office. , said today a member of his government.

Metropolitan Police are contacting more than 50 people believed to have attended the parties to explain their involvement. Yesterday, Johnson’s spokesman confirmed that he had received the questionnaire and would respond as requested.

“I am absolutely confident that the Prime Minister will complete this questionnaire and return it to the Metropolitan Police as it should,” Deputy Secretary of Defense James Hippe told BBC television.

“But I do not believe for a moment that it will distract him from leading the international response in a time of acute geopolitical crisis,” he added.

“He will read some really revealing intelligence updates all day, every day. He and his government are now on a very regular routine of meetings of the National Security Council and the COBRA team,” he said.

Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing 12 protesters by truck.

Boris Johnson has seven days to respond to the questionnaire.
