Johnson accepts he misled MPs but insists he spoke ‘in good faith'
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. The former prime minister insisted in his written evidence to the Privileges Committee inquiry that he did not intentionally or recklessly mislead the House. His 52-page defence dossier was published on Tuesday, a day before he faces a live grilling by the cross-party group of MPs in a hearing that could decide his political fate. The committee said Mr Johnsons legal argument contains no new documentary evidence and that it had to be resubmitted on Tuesday because of a number of errors and typos.
