there, there are pro proponents who say this law is to safeguard children, with state senator jack johnsonnfidence to parents that they can take their kids to a public or private show and will not be blindsided by a sexualized performance. elaborate on your point of view, especially hearing that word choice? >> well, it's just interesting that they continuously use the fear tactic of children when it comes to lgbtq issues or drag or anything in the making up. i think it's a scare tam tick to bring middle america, middle class america to attention to something they wouldn't normally be affected by. i think that it's a way to get people on the bandwagon, right? as soon as someone thinks their children are no longer safe, of course it brings awareness and sparks attention. but there's at no point in time or is there any type of statistic that can actually back up these -- i would say things that they're bringing to our attention. it's unknown. a lot of times our performances are actually leading people to a place where they can find support and they can find a place where they can belong. a l

then there is jack doyle, who was the prime minister's director of locations at the time, someone mr johnsonhe guidance in numberten. one possible to follow the guidance in number ten. one final possible to follow the guidance in numberten. one finalthing i possible to follow the guidance in number ten. one final thing i want to flag up, martin reynolds who was a top aide to borisjohnson in downing street, he became infamous actually for organising one of the outdoor events in the garden of downing street which has a lot more evidence about today as well. he talks about the morning of prime minister's questions on the 8th of december 20 20, one of the times where borisjohnson told mps all the rules and guidance had been followed. martin reynolds says that he questioned whether the prime minister should say at premises questions that all the rules and guidance had been followed, saying that it might not be realistic my reference to all the rules and guidance being followed was then removed from an opening statement that borisjohnson made to mps. then mrjohnson said it later in answer to anoth

one of his advisers, jack doyle has been reported in borisjohnson talks about jack doyle has been reported in boris johnson's possession. he support can be in the committee's possession-— support can be in the committee's tossession. , . , possession. he sent a message saying is there a way — possession. he sent a message saying is there a way of — possession. he sent a message saying is there a way of getting _ possession. he sent a message saying is there a way of getting to _ possession. he sent a message saying is there a way of getting to the - is there a way of getting to the truth about the party out there. he trusted the assurances that jack doyle had given we're just going to go on the met police report that has with permission, i would like to make a statement of baroness casey's review of the metropolitan police. i casey's review of the metropolitan police. . casey's review of the metropolitan police. , ., , ., , police. i wish to put on record my thanks of baroness _ police. i wish to put on record my thanks of baroness casey - police. i wish to put on record my thanks of baroness casey for i p

however, jack doyle , the former communications doyle, the former communications chief, denied telling boris johnsonbut i said, i believe no rules are broken. a number 10 officials saying this regards the press room. i could see what was happening. and he allowed the situation to continue . simon the situation to continue. simon case cabinet's secretary i did not give johnson that guidance had been adhered to at all times. so there is actually a lot of detailed evidence the committee has got in front of. and this is the crucial point that i think we'll be hearing a lot of in about hour's time. what's the difference between rules and. yeah. the law versus the guidance. and boris in the house of commons seemed to have these two phrases almost indistinguishable. sort of chopping . and changing the rules chopping. and changing the rules were followed. the guidance was followed. well, in legal terms , followed. well, in legal terms, have meanings. followed. well, in legal terms, have meanings . and the have different meanings. and the evidence that the committee put together and published today that bori

drunk under a degree, and later, if we remember an associate of boris johnson deputy caucus coordinator, torii and minister for jackble when he molested two men in a club on pikali street while drunk. however, the british deputies are challenged by their colleagues from the national assembly of france - drunkenness within the walls of parliament. the theme of the french press of the last week someone had to pick up from the floor and throw someone vomited into the trash can. the issue became so acute that it came to demands to close the parliament. all buffets and bars with alcohol are older explore habits french deputies and even built a schedule during the working day. here are the deputies. three peaks of drunkenness at eleven in the morning, as a rule, begin with champagne, then catch up with rum and other strong drinks at 16 in the afternoon and the end of the day is already holy from 20 to 21. who in what much explains everything with tough debates and a tight schedule, and bars cannot be closed . after all, this is like a watering place in the jungle, where there is no place for enmity in words. drunkenness

was not observed when this recording hit the net boris johnson said he reached out to staff for clarification from his communications director jacky wrote. i think you can say that i was assured that there was no party and no rules. violated. struggling, johnson said he relied on assurances like this to refute allegations of violating quarantine rules in parliament. a few days later , boresh johnson texted jake doyle on whatsapp calling the gathering the b-word as a way to get the truth about the party out to the public. boris johnson claims that he didn't think it was a party, but used the word as an abbreviation. stop that word that the media used that he just picked up after 2 weeks. after this party, boris johnson will again raise a glass in the same hall on downing street, one of those present recalls how johnson, drinking on the road , said this is probably the most social. distant meeting in the uk right now johnson will write to the committee later. i don't remember those words. this seems unlikely. i could well have mentioned social distancing in my speech even where it was strictly observed. but this does not mean that

from some of boris johnson's political allies, mps who advised them in downing street and from some other senior officials in number ten. we can show you page 72, evidence from jack from the survey report, he is asked, did you tell borisjohnson at any time that covid rules were followed at all times? and he says i believed that no rules were broken. but there is a bit of a difference a year when it comes to guidance on this says that he did not tell borisjohnson that he did not tell borisjohnson that no overt guidance was broken in number ten. there are different accounts on this evidence of what exactly went on and it feels likely that something that could come up indicating this afternoon, this question of if the legal rules were not broken, was the guidance broken? we know the legal stuff was broken because boris johnson we know the legal stuff was broken because borisjohnson was eventually fined, but his team and some of his advisers seem to have been drawing a distinction between the two things. as i say, there are other parts of this if few pages back where different aids, some of them mps, a parliamentary secretary to boris johnson at the time for example

johnson saying. he trusted the assurances of former of communications jack doyle that amid pandemic christmas party wascheese and exchanging gifts at the desk. that did not sound to me like a breach of the rules or the guidance. let alone a party, said mr. johnson so essentially boris johnson's defence on the fact that he , defence on the fact that he, well, the, his, his , what he well, the, his, his, what he says is that he didn't know he was breaking the rules. and so when he stood up and said that he was doing everything within the rules , was acting in good the rules, was acting in good faith . and this 52 page dossier faith. and this 52 page dossier that he's put together is essentially gathering up all sorts of evidence from messages, from communication between . him from communication between. him and his advisers in which his advisers appear to tell him that there is no of the rules. so when he relayed information to the house, he says he was acting in good faith. it's not his fault if that guidance was wrong. now that he knows, because you can see in his dossier that he knows that the committ

and it makes the questions about ron johnson handing a folder to pence on the floor all the more urgent in terms of the need to have them answer by jacko you think that's happening? >> i do. i actually think putting this all together is exactly what jack smith is focusing on. you know, this is all of the piece -- i mean, this is not complicated in terms of what donald trump was trying to do. it's what he said to the department of justice. just say that you have a fraud investigation because that's going to give the united states senators and congressmen enough of a -- that's going to give the states, who are the people who are corrupt and aluigned a fig leaf he knows he is putting pressure, as we have seen on tape in georgia. frankly, it's no different than what he did with ukraine, which is just say that you have an investigation into joe biden and his son. that's all i need for this fig leaf to basically commit fraud and this is a -- this is not sort of a one-off. this is a real pattern i am absolutely confident that jack smith is pursuing all of that and looking this -- basically looking at the georgia state case in a much larger c
