Boris Johnson accepts he misled MPs but insists partygate denials were ‘in good faith' - Video

Boris Johnson has accepted that he misled MPs but insisted his partygate denials were made “in good faith” based on what he “honestly” knew at the time.

He said he "relied on assurances I had received from my advisers" but it turned out that "those assurances were wrong." Johnson published his written evidence to the Privileges Committee inquiry on Tuesday morning.

On Wednesday, he faces a live grilling by the cross-party group of MPs in a hearing that could provoke a by-election. Johnson accepted his denials turned out not to be true but said he corrected the record at the “earliest opportunity”.
