Has Carrie had a police letter too?

- By Brendan Carlin POLITICAL CORRESPOND­ENT

HER husband has already received a police questionna­ire demanding answers over his role in the Partygate affair.

But last night it was not known whether the PM’s wife had also received a document from the Met.

Mrs Johnson has been linked to three of the controvers­ial events under investigat­ion by Scotland Yard – starting with the ‘bring your own booze’ event in the Downing Street garden during the first Covid lockdown.

A Downing Street figure has claimed Mrs Johnson, then the PM’s fiancée, accompanie­d him to ‘socially distanced drinks’, attended by about 40 people.

She has also been accused of helping to organise a surprise birthday party for Mr Johnson in the Cabinet Room on June 19, 2020, attended by up to 30.

Finally, friends of Mrs Johnson are said to have organised a ‘Winner Takes It All’ Abba party on November 13, 2020, to mark the resignatio­n of Dominic Cummings.

Mrs Johnson’s spokespers­on has previously denied she held such a party in the flat on that date.

No10 confirmed on Friday that the PM had received a questionna­ire over the alleged Covid restrictio­ns rule-breaking.
