Was Partygate report tweaked by Boris aide?

No10 denies it ‘edited’ dossier

- PIPPA CRERAR

BORIS Johnson’s chief-of-staff got an early glimpse of Sue Gray’s report and made tweaks, it has been claimed.

Two insiders told the Mirror that the document was looked at before publication by Steve Barclay, who allegedly requested changes.

They said the section covering a gathering in the Downing Street flat was “edited” on Tuesday night.

The Government has denied the claims, also raised in the Commons.

Senior civil servant Ms Gray published her damning report into Partygate on Wednesday after the Met Police investigation concluded.

She revealed astonishing details of boozy parties, brawling, vomiting and laughing at security guards.

Mr Johnson told MPs he had been “humbled” by the scandal – during which he was fined for breaking Covid laws – but refused to quit.
