British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make a statement to parliament on Monday on a report into alleged parties at his Downing Street office and residence following an investigation by senior civil servant Sue Gray. FRANCE 24's Philip Turle tells us more.
Lawmakers backed the finding that Johnson was in contempt of Parliament by 354 votes to 7, after a debate in which many argued it was crucial to show voters that politicians are obliged to follow the rules and tell the truth.
Interviewed during a visit to a police station, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak refuses to comment on the long-awaited publication of a report on the "Partygate" scandal implicating his predecessor Boris Johnson, preferring instead to deflect attention towards the government's plan to tackle illegal migration and grow the economy. The "Partygate" scandal saw Johnson and dozens of government officials, including then-Chancellor Sunak, fined by police for breaking the social distancing laws the government imposed on the public to curtail the spread of Covid-19.
