Dominic Cummings claimed he’d be willing to call Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister accused of misleading Parliament over boozy lockdowns-busting parties at Downing Street, a liar.
Tonight, the PM’s ex-top adviser stated that Johnson had discussed May 2020 BYOB with him before it took place but that Johnson’s concerns were “waved aside”.
This claim is in contradiction to Mr Johnson’s statements made last Wednesday before the House of Commons.
He claimed that he believes that Martin Reynolds’ knees-up, which was organized by his principal secretary and is being investigated by Sue Gray (senior civil servant) wasn’t a violation of regulations.
Following last week’s shocking revelations and subsequent rescue plans, Downing Street launched Operation Red Meat to provide support for the PM.
Today, however, Cummings posted on the Substack Blog that worse could still lie ahead for Number10.
‘Amid discussion over the future of the Cabinet Secretary (Simon Case) and PPS (Reynolds) himself, which had been going on for days, I said to the PM something like: ”Martin’s invited the building to a drinks party, this is what I’m talking about, you’ve got to grip this madhouse”,’ he wrote.
“The PM ignored it.” The PM ignored my repeated requests to replace the PPS, and other officials with the necessary expertise who understood that there was a need for a major overhaul in management and personnel.
He continued, “Not just me, but all eyewitnesses at that time discussed this would swear under oath that this is what occurred.”
A new poll showed that Labour had a 13 point lead over Tories in tonight’s opinion poll.

Redfield Strategies and Wilton Strategies conducted a survey on January 17, which showed Labour at 43%, an increase of four. The Tories, however, were down to 30%, five more, within a span of one week.
Mr Cummings lost a Downing Street power battle in the late 2020s and was dismissed. He sent a warning to the PM, indicating that more scandal could follow.
He said, “There are many more photos of parties that have not appeared since I left.” I’ll say more when SG’s report is published.’
After Martin Reynolds invited over 100 staff members to an invitation to his private secretary Martin Johnson’s ‘bring your booze’ party at No10 garden during May 2020’s first lockdown, Johnson had to apologize.
Although the PM acknowledged that he was there, he claimed it was an event he thought could technically have been allowed under rules.
Some claims were that aides carried a wheeled suitcase to pick up alcohol from the nearby shops.
The Tories also warned Johnson today that Johnson’s ‘Operation Red Meat’ policy blitz might not suffice to save his bacon as ministers hesitated to say he was’safe.
The PM is now believed to have been grilled by top civil servant Sue Gray, who could deliver her report on the bewildering array of allegations about lockdown breaches in Whitehall within days.
With crowd pleasing announcements about bringing in the military and tackling the Channel migrant crisis, the government is gearing up to save Mr Johnson.
It is possible that he plans to get rid of some senior staff members and to ban alcohol consumption in Downing Street, in an effort to strengthen his leadership.
Today, Nadhim Zahawi, Education Secretary, said in a series of interviews that Johnson “feels the pain” of the public over the flouting and alleged violations of country’s restrictions.
According to him, Mr Johnson is ‘human’. He also apologized for the’mistake’ of attending May 2020’s social event. Before Mr Zahawi could say that Premier Johnson was “safe” in his job, he had to be questioned three times on BBC Radio 4’s Today.
A number of MPs returned to their constituents reporting that voters had abused them on the doorstep and through mailbags. MailOnline heard from one Northern MP who said that the response was terrible, worse than in the Barnard Castle dispute involving Dominic Cummings.
“It was worse because he broke the rules he made himself and instructed everyone to follow. He is free to launch again, hide behind reports or do anything he likes. According to the Tory MP, “The people have decided,”
Dominic Cummings summarily dismissed a former assistant who was part of Downing Street’s long-standing drinking culture. People would booze at lunchtime, then ‘wake up’ in their clothes after falling on the sofas.

A former aide said that Downing Street might start drinking at lunch, and then wake up the next morning in the exact same outfit after having crashed on couches as part of an ongoing drinking culture.
Sonia Khan spoke out about the historical behavior of Government in the face of signs that Boris Johnson may impose an alcohol ban as a way to calm rising anger over Partygate.
Ms Khan served in No10, the Treasury and during Theresa May’s premierships. After Boris Johnson became president but before the pandemic, she was summarily dismissed in a dispute with Dominic Cummings. Later, she settled an unfair dismissal case.
In an interview, she said drinking had long been ‘normalised’ in Downing Street.
However, she claimed that previous cultures were ‘totally distinct’ from the accusations of partying and the fact that coronavirus control was restricted to the public.
Last week, Mr Johnson was forced into an apology after Martin Reynolds, his principal private secretary invited more than 100 employees to the No. 10 garden’s “bring your own alcohol” party during the initial lockdown in May 2020.
While the PM acknowledged attending, he said he did not believe it to be a work function that was technically allowed by rules.
According to some reports, aides took a rolling suitcase with wheels and went out to buy booze from nearby shops.

Ms Khan claimed that alcohol has long been accepted in Downing Street.
Ms Khan stated that these drinks sessions are often sandwiched among pieces of work. It feels very repetitive.
‘Drinks could start at lunch time, they could start a little bit later in the day – different teams do things very differently – but the idea of mini fridges or having drinks underneath your table wasn’t uncommon.’
Ms Khan explained that seniors at No.10, dating back to two decades ago, had drunk drinks in order to show appreciation for staff who worked’very long hours.
Asked if people had been so hungover they had slept on sofas in Downing Street, she said: ‘I did see a few instances of that – people waking up in the same clothes the next day.
However, it was not a time when I worked and that happened very rarely back then. It is impossible to speak for the current situation.
Ms Khan said: ‘Drinks in No 10 … feel like such a normalised thing so it doesn’t feel like anything out of the ordinary.
“Now that there’s a pandemic, it’s entirely different. You can certainly say that the people who are so smart and intelligent should have been supervised.
Ms Khan started her career as a civil servant under Mr Cameron at No 10. She was then promoted to special advisor in Treasury during Mrs May’s reign.
While she was briefly in the Treasury when Mr Johnson took control, she was forced to leave Downing Street in force by armed officers after Dominic Cummings fired her in August 2019. Dominic Cummings had accused her of leakage.
Later, she settled her claim against the Government regarding unfair dismissal.
Twitter: Mr Cummings responded today, insisting that No10 had no drink culture in May 2020. Ms Khan was accused of being a “useful idiot” to support Mr Johnson.

The MPs also reported a beasting by voters in their constituents. MailOnline was told by a Northern MP that they received a terrible response, worse than the Barnard Castle row with Mr Cummings.
The worst part is that he had broken the rules and ordered everyone to comply. He is free to launch again, hide behind reports or do anything he likes. According to the Tory MP, “The people have decided,”
Another stated that they are getting grief from “a good many Tories and just average people who don’t talk politics but feel compelled write to say they want Boris’ resignation”. But they expressed optimism that things might be shifting to other stories.
