Exclusive: Labour leader backs attack on ex-PM by shadow minister Thangam Debbonaire

Keir Starmer has accused Boris Johnson of trying to “intimidate” MPs investigating him over the Partygate scandal.

The Labour leader has given his full backing to an attack on Mr Johnson’s response to the privileges committee inquiry by shadow minister Thangam Debbonaire.

The shadow Commons leader claimed the former Tory prime minister has shown “utter disdain for standards in public life” by trying to “discredit” the Commons Committee investigating him.
