GIMME! GIMME! GIMME! A BREAK

Bozo: I was at work for Abba party

BORIS “Bozo” Johnson is set to deny breaking Covid-19 laws on the night of the alleged “Abba party” at No10.

The Prime Minister will reportedly argue he was not in breach of the regulations because he was working in the Downing Street flat at the time.

Bozo has now received a questionnaire from Met Police as part of their probe into lockdown-flouting parties.

He is one of 50 people who have been contacted by police and could be fined for breaking restrictions.

The PM is believed to have been at six parties out of the 12 being looked at by officers. One reportedly took place on November 13, 2020, the day after Dominic Cummings stood down as his adviser.

Abba songs including The Winner Takes It All were allegedly among the tunes played.

Bozo is expected to claim the flat can be a workplace and that was why he was at the supposed bash, which wife Carrie also reportedly attended.

Allies of the Prime Minister have highlighted that civil servant Sue Gray’s “update” report did itself make reference to the twin function of the Downing Street flat. Ms Gray wrote: “The Prime Minister’s flat and the Downing Street garden are in close proximity to the offices and serve a dual office and private purpose.” A Tory insider also said: “On the basis of all the facts we know, he was always in either his home, his garden or his workplace during the events being looked at.

“The PM always has a legitimate reason to be there. I think it’s quite hard to fine Boris. It’s highly unlikely he organised any of this stuff.”

No10 has slapped down claims of special treatment for Bozo. Hundreds of people complained on Twitter of “policing by questionnaire”. And defence lawyer Matt Foot said: “In

25 years... I can’t remember a single client being sent a questionnaire to fill in by the police.” A No10 spokesman said: “This government has always backed the police and fully respects their complete independence to carry out inquiries without fear or favour.” Downing Street also said the PM would “respond as required” to police.
