downing street are not denying that an event took place — this is what they have said about james slackcations. ok, so more pressure on the prime minister. there is an investigation into previous parties — will this one now be included in that, do you think? it is probably very likely it will be folded into it. certainly the remit of the investigation by sue gray would allow it. boris johnson was not at this one — the april party in 2021 — because he was in chequers, in his country retreat, but nonetheless the deputy leader of the labour party says in reaction to this, "i have no words for the culture and behaviours at number 10, and the buck stops with the pm." so when that inquiry comes out, it is notjust the met police that will be looking very closely at sue gray's report, but also the public, as many constituents will be e—mailing their mps with what their feelings are. that has already been happening as a result of the previous allegations, and so this is what andrew bridgen — who supported borisjohnson, backed him to be leader, and was a vocal supporter of brexit — told newsnight

you know, hiring someone like james slack straight out of downing street — what is the benefit to thehat we were going to ask. so it would work the other way, as well, in the sense that perhaps they thought he might have an insight into how government was working, would have good contacts there. but it's less clear to me, actually, the benefits of that because whether or not he would do that, i'm not so sure, and there are lots of rules for people that do move between these two worlds, that try and govern them. but i think what this story did make clear is that it can be incredibly awkward to move back and forth so soon after you've been in one role because of the questions that have inevitably come up about this. and we know that, clearly, he wasn't telling the sun about the parties that were going on, so they didn't get any insight from him, from having hired him. and, helen, i mentioned the telegraph — borisjohnson was their star columnist for years. they've supported him throughout this crisis. but it was the telegraph that broke the story about parties the night before prince phi

just as we went to him, we have that statement from james slack.e claims of parties or social gatherings spanning almost a year in downing street, in contravention of the covid rules at the time. this one really matters for two reasons, it is such a contrast with what happened the following day at the funeral of the duke of edinburgh, when you have that infamous picture of the queen sitting on her own as she said goodbye to her husband. the night after these events had taken place in the downing street. the other reason that it really matters is that these reports in the daily telegraph are clearly a social event, if the reports are correct, about dancing, about music playing, about dancing, about music playing, about somebody being dispatched to the local supermarket with a suitcase to stock up on booze. so this adds considerably more pressure to the government this morning, it is going to be part of that investigation that the senior civil servant sue gray is carrying out. have a listen to what the security minister damian hinds told breakfast ab

james slack, for whom this leaving party was held, says he takes no responsibility.ereby he said mistakes had been made, for which he takes responsibility. you did not say that he had done anything wrong. indeed, he is not even prepared to accept that he went to party. remember, this investigation done by sue gray was set up by the prime minister when he appeared before parliament six weeks ago in which he said, i have been assured that no rules were broken and there was not a party. he continues to lie to us. he lies to us. at that stage, he was implying that there was only one party. we now know there were many, many parties held at number ten, which in the end is the headquarters of the government, it is his home, he is responsible for this, and he shows no true understanding ofjust how angry people feel and just how much people feel that the rules really should apply to him like they do to everyone else. and he still does not seem to get it. he was going round the tea rooms, we are told, saying, i'mjust going round the tea rooms, we are told, saying, i'm just car

that has, however, been an apology from james slack. he was the senior communications or official at the time who's leaving party. it was, he now has a job as deputy editor in chief at the sun newspaper. he said that it was most certainly bad timing. the response from the opposition has been quick and critical . we go, angela rayner, the deputy leader of the labor party, saying that she stunned into silence about the level of discipline at number 10. no suggestion of boys johnson was there. we believe that he was at his country residence at checkers at the time, but essentially he is the boss of all of these staff members. and the question is, should he now also be held to account for what's going on then? now how is this one could play out. 7 5 for the prime minister and for the conservative party momentum is growing within the conservative party. the number of voices who are critical of forest johnston seems to be growing by the day. some of them already tabling letters of no confidence to the $922.00 committee. that's a committee of

one of the events was a leaving do for this man, james slack, borisjohnson�*s former communications chief statement this morning... allegations of parties or gatherings which broke the rules now span almost a year, from may 2020 to april 2021, and that's led to suggestions that these were not isolated incidents but part of a cultural problem in borisjohnson�*s downing street. the prime minister hasn't been seen in public since wednesday, and although he didn't attend the events which emerged today, many of his mps are angry that he did attend drinks during lockdown in 2020. five have now called for him to quit. part of the key elements of leadership is that you don't ask people you're asking to follow you to make sacrifices and suffer privations that you're not willing to bear yourself, and clearly that has not been the case. the fact is they have been having parties throughout because, in the end, they thought that the laws that they were putting together were not laws that applied to them. the revelations about what went on here keep coming, piling even more pressure on downing street's
