BORIS Johnson insists he 'did not break Covid -19 laws' & welcomes Met Police Partygate probe

Coronavirus latest - BORIS Johnson does not believe he broke Covid laws but will fully cooperate with Scotland Yard's Partygate probe, No10 said today. Coming out swinging, the PM himself assured furious MPs the Met's investigation would "draw a line" under the crisis engulfing his premiership. Met chief Dame Cressida Dick today finally bowed to pressure to launch a probe into the avalanche of allegations of rule-breaking bashes.
