ITV political chief Robert Peston has accused Labour of “banging on about partygate” amid continued uncertainty over Boris Johnson’s future. During his name-sake programme last night, Mr Peston confronted Emily Thornberry about whether the public would say Labour are banging on about ‘partygate’ too much. This comes as Boris Johnson has vowed to fight on as Prime Minister after facing a renewed push to resign over lockdown parties in Downing Street.<\/p>\n

Mr Peston said: “Boris Johnson and some newspapers believe this is all going to blow over, that people are getting bored with party-gate.<\/p>\n

“They say that there are more important issues out there – the cost of living and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“Do you think the public will say Labour are banging on about it too much?”<\/p>\n

Ms Thornberry responded: “I think at the moment it isn’t Labour that’s banging on about this, it’s the public.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “And that’s what the public are talking about.<\/p>\n

“They continue to talk about the fact that they believe that the Prime Minister has been taking the mickey, that he’s been lying to them.<\/p>\n

“I mean I personally think that the public have come to a conclusion a long time ago and to that extent, they’re bored.<\/p>\n

“They’ve already decided that their Prime Minister is a liar, that he can’t be relied on, that they can’t trust anything he says, that he can’t lead them.<\/p>\n

“I mean, it’s for that reason he’s got to go.”<\/p>\n

On Good Morning Britain earlier today, Peter Bone defended Mr Johnson, adding that people are more concerned with other issues.<\/p>\n

The Conservative MP said: “We have a listening team that goes out every night in my constituency, I have done eight hours canvassing in the last ten days.<\/p>\n

“People on the doorstep are not bringing this up. They ask about taxes and National Insurance. That’s what they are interested in.”<\/p>\n

Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg also rallied to Mr Johnson’s side on Wednesday, saying he was “sure” Mr Johnson would “survive” the current furore.<\/p>\n

This comes as MPs continue to wait to see the findings of civil servant Sue Gray’s inquiry into the events.<\/p>\n

It is understood that Ms Gray’s report is completed, but she has not yet sent it to the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Separately, the Metropolitan Police have launched an inquiry into potential Covid-law breaking in Downing Street. <\/p>\n
