Tories must not return to ‘soap opera of Partygate’ under Boris Johnson, warns Dominic RaabBoris Johnson’s former deputy Dominic Raab has warned Conservative MPs that bringing the ex-PM back into No 10 would risk another episode of Partygate – which he likened to “Groundhog Day” and a “soap opera”.Claiming to believe that Mr Johnson can eventually “make a return to frontline politics”, Mr Raab said: “I just can’t see in practice how a new prime minister ... could give the country the attention, the focus, that it needs” while also giving testimony to the Commons privileges committee inquiry over Partygate.Mr Raab continued: “Whether you’re an arch-Boris fan, or an arch-Boris critic, I don’t see how you can reconcile returning to frontline politics with that committee looming and hanging over him and oral testimony being heard.”He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “We cannot go backwards. We can’t have another episode of the Groundhog Day, of the soap opera, of Partygate. We must get the country and the government moving forward.”BBC Radio 4
