The scandals keep coming for this prime minister, who is now facing accusations of lying over the Chris Pincher scandal. 

Daily Express says TORY rebels were slapped down last night for trying to use groping allegations against Chris Pincher to launch a fresh bid to ditch Boris Johnson.

The i says SOME MINISTERS and aides have been unwilling to toe the No 10 line over the Prime Minister’s handling of the Chris Pincher affair, amid a slew of allegations against the former deputy chief whip stretching back years.

The Guardian says BORIS JOHNSON was aware of some allegations relating to Chris Pincher when the MP for Tamworth was appointed deputy chief whip in February, Downing Street has admitted.

The Independent says DOWNING STREET is not telling the truth about whether Boris Johnson was warned about alleged “predatory behaviour” by one of his Tory ministers, a former top civil servant has said.

The Metro says BORIS JOHNSON was ‘aware’ of allegations against Chris Pincher when he was appointed as deputy chief whip.

BBC News says BORIS JOHNSON was made aware of a formal complaint about Chris Pincher’s “inappropriate behaviour” while Mr Pincher was a Foreign Office minister from 2019-20, BBC News can reveal.

BBC News says THE SCOTTISH GREENS have said there will be no alternative to a single issue general election on independence if formal consent for indyref2 is not granted.

The Independent says Boris Johnson is facing growing calls to set out what he knew about allegations of inappropriate behaviour centring on Chris Pincher before appointing him to the Tory whips’ office.

The Metro says Boris Johnson has been accused of turning a blind eye to groping allegations against an MP he handed a senior role to.
