Partygate: PM ‘pretty much toast’

When asked whether he thought that the optics of hosting a “party” on the night that it was reported that 20 penalty notices were put in place, Johnson responded, saying “that’s not the way I see things”.

Johnson said that he has “no doubt” that he would return once the Metropolitan police has completed their investigation.
