24-hours news access only, credit: Sunday Morning with Sophie Raworth - BBC One. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Boris Johnson “broke the law” and then “lied about what had happened”. Speaking on BBC’s Sunday Morning programme, Sir Keir said: “I think he (Prime Minister) broke the law. I think he’s as good as admitted that he broke the law. And, after all, Downing Street has now apologised to the Queen for some of the parties that have gone on." When asked if the police are right to wait for the Sue Gray inquiry before investigating the Number 10 parties, he said, “I don’t go along with this idea that we’ve all got to wait somehow, I think it’s blindingly obvious what has happened.”
