Boris Johnson has overhauled his Downing Street operation following the conclusion of a four-month Metropolitan Police inquiry into lockdown-busting parties at the top of Government during the pandemic.

He has told the government to focus on crime, crime, crime, and Dominic Raab was questioned about this on the BBC this morning.

Scotland Yard’s Operation Hillman was closed on Thursday with a total of 126 fixed penalties handed out to 83 people, although it was confirmed the Prime Minister would not be punished further than the £50 fine he received in April for attending his own birthday bash in June 2020 when indoor mixing was banned.

Soap opera stuff

It comes as the policing minister dismissed questions about alleged sexual misconduct within the Conservative Party as “soap opera stuff” as the Tories faced pressure to identify and suspend an MP accused of rape.

Asked by the PA news agency if the Conservative administration can still call itself the Government of law and order, in light of incidents including partygate and allegations of sexual misconduct within its ranks, Mr Malthouse said: “Oh, we certainly can.

“I mean, don’t forget, with assistance from the pandemic but because of some great policing and policy decisions, neighbourhood crime is down, violence is down.

“We’re turning the numbers on murder, we’re closing county lines on a daily basis.

“So away from the kind of soap opera stuff, we are making significant progress, and that’s alongside the 13,500 cops that we’ve recruited.

“So I do believe that we can say that, and we’re certainly making progress.”

Raab

Charlie Stayt asked Dominic Raab” Boris Johnson has told the govt to focus on crime, crime, crime, and that is in the week that we hear 126 fines for law breaking within govt have been issued… how do you marry that up?

Dominic Raab rattled said: “I disagree.”

He then went on to mention serious crimes he is looking at and mentioned rape. He didn’t mention anything about the Tory MP who was arrested for alleged sexual crimes this week.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
