BORIS JOHNSON and his wife Carrie could face questioning by the Metropolitan Police as officers investigate a dozen lockdown-busting parties in Downing Street and Whitehall.

Monday’s very limited report by top civil servant Sue Gray revealed that the police are probing a gathering in the flat at 10 Downing Street on November 13 2020.

The alleged event is said to have taken place on the night that senior prime ministerial aide Dominic Cummings left his role at No 10.

Mr Johnson, when questioned in the House of Commons by Labour MP Catherine West on December 8 2021, denied that a party had taken place in the flat.

But on Monday, Mr Johnson refused to say whether there had been a party.

A spokesperson for Carrie Johnson described allegations that she had held a number of parties in the flat as “total nonsense,” adding: “Mrs Johnson has followed coronavirus rules at all times and it is categorically untrue to suggest otherwise.”

Scotland Yard said today that its investigation made it “necessary for us to contact those who attended these events to get their account.

“Having received the documentation from the Cabinet Office on Friday 28 January, we are now reviewing it at pace to confirm which individuals will need to be contacted for their account.”

The news that Mr and Ms Johnson could be interviewed comes amid continued fallout from the Prime Minister’s statement to the Commons on Ms Gray’s report.

Former Tory chief whip Andrew Mitchell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme the Prime Minister was running the government like a “medieval court” and doing “great damage” to his party.

Writing in the Times, ex-Tory leader William Hague warned Mr Johnson that he should be “worried by the reaction of his own MPs.”

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said that the PM had become distracted by his efforts to save his own job.

Sir Keir said: “So many people are worried about issues such as their energy bills, which are going through the roof, and the Prime Minister is spending all of his time saving his own skin.

“We now know that he had a meeting planned with the Chancellor last week to discuss energy bills, but that was cancelled because he was having meetings to save his own job.”

Mr Johnson will reveal if he has been hit with a fine for breaching coronavirus rules, Downing Street said.

There had been concerns that the public would never officially be told if the Prime Minister was issued with a fixed penalty notice for attending a No 10 party, because the identity of people issued with a ticket is not usually disclosed by police.

But Downing Street acknowledged the “significant public interest” in the case of the Prime Minister.
