Justin Madders (Ellesmere Port and Neston) (Lab)
On 8 December, the Prime Minister told this House:
“I have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party and that no covid rules were broken.”—[Official Report, 8 December 2021; Vol. 705, c. 372.]
Well, just who gave him those assurances? Given that he was at some of the parties, and at least one of them was in his own flat, he should not need anyone else to tell him what happened, so it looks like when the Prime Minister spoke those words he was fooling himself—or was he just trying to fool everyone else?
The Prime Minister
The hon. Gentleman needs to wait and see what the inquiry concludes. That is what due process demands. I stick by what I said.
