According to reports, Boris Johnson claims he did not break the coronavirus rules, although he was fined by Metropolitan police for Partygate.
The prime minister will be forced to consider his fines and blocking parties at number 10 in front of his lawmakers when Westminister returns on Tuesday.
The Prime Minister’s close allies told The Times that Mr Johnson accepted that “mistakes had been made”, but predicted that Mr Johnson would tell MEPs that “there is always an exception for work and people work next to number 10 for very long hours. “
Explaining the prime minister’s opinion, the source told the newspaper: “If you go from meeting to meeting and it’s something at 2 pm, people will not call it a special party.
They added that, from Mr Johnson’s point of view, this was his place of work and that he had “gone to events as a place of work”.
“He will present it and many people understand it,” the source said.
Mr Johnson’s statement to lawmakers is also expected to highlight the work the government is doing to support the Ukrainian government.
He will also update parliament on the government’s new energy strategy.
Mr Johnson’s planned message of disobedience at Partygate will be followed by new reports that he not only participated but actually led the celebrations at one of the Downing Street events.
He is said to have served drinks at the restaurant to his former communications director, Lee Kane, on November 13, 2020.
A source told The Sunday Times that the gathering began as a press center for drinks to end the week, but turned into a party after the prime minister arrived.
