UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his staff will “fully cooperate” with London police as they investigate a number of parties held in Downing Street during COVID lockdowns, a spokesman says.

Johnson believes it is “entirely right” for the Metropolitan Police to investigate, his spokesman tells reporters, adding: “It will provide the public with welcome clarity and help draw a line under these events.”
