Tory minister dismisses calls for probe into ‘Carrie Johnson flat gathering’

The Daily Mirror says A minister has dismissed calls for a probe into allegations that a second gathering took place in Downing Street on Boris Johnson’s birthday.

Labour is demanding inquiries into leaked messages suggesting the Prime Minister’s wife Carrie hosted several friends in the No11 flat on 19 June 2020.

Mr Johnson, his wife and Chancellor Rishi Sunak were all fined by police over a surprise birthday event for Mr Johnson in the Downing Street Cabinet room on 19 June 2020.

But the Sunday Times reported that civil service boss Simon Case had been informed of messages suggesting Mrs Johnson held another gathering in the No11 flat on that date.

Indoor socialising was banned under Covid rules at the time.

But Technology Minister Chris Philp said the Partygate saga was probably the “most thoroughly investigated set of incidents in recent times” and said “it is not immediately obvious” more inquiries were needed.
