An accusation by British prime minister Boris Johnson’s former senior adviser that he lied to parliament about a lockdown party at his official residence is nonsense, his deputy said on Tuesday.

Johnson faces the gravest crisis of his tenure after revelations about gatherings during COVID-19 lockdowns, some when British people could not even bid farewell in person to dying relatives and the Queen was mourning her husband.

“He’s made it very clear to the House of Commons, took questions on this, that he thought it was a work event,” he told Times Radio. However, Raab agreed in later interviews that on principle, if a prime minister deliberately lied to parliament, it was a resigning matter. But Dominic Cummings, an architect of Britain’s departure from the European Union and a former senior adviser who left government under acrimonious terms in November 2020, said that Johnson had agreed the drinks party should go ahead.Cummings said that he and at least one other adviser told Principal Private Secretary Martin Reynolds, the official who invited people to the party, that it should not go ahead.“I told the PPS the invite broke the rules,” he said.
