Raab partygate excuses an "insult to the British people"

Responding to Dominic Raab’s claim on BBC Breakfast this morning that Boris Johnson told the truth “to the best of his ability”, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said: “This pathetic excuse is an insult to the British people who made huge sacrifices during lockdown while those in Downing Street partied. “Boris Johnson broke the rules then repeatedly lied because he thought he could get away with it. Now he has been found out as a serial liar. “Attempts by Conservative ministers to rewrite history simply won’t wash. Johnson has lost the trust of the British people and it’s time for him to go.”
