PETER Stefanovic has indicated Boris Johnson was "talking complete boll***s" at Prime Minister's Questions when he refused to answer if Christmas parties were held at Downing Street last year.
The lawyer and political campaigner who created a viral video detailing the Prime Minister's lies in Parliament recently posted a new video talking about how Johnson may be distancing himself from the truth with the latest scandal.
While Covid rules in England over the festive period in 2020 stated that you must not have a work Christmas lunch or party.
The Daily Mirror reported that, despite the guidance from his own government, Johnson and his staff held several parties at Number 10 last year, while the rest of the UK was under various levels of restrictions and large gatherings were banned.

Sources told the paper up to 50 people, crammed in “cheek by jowl”, attended a leaving do for a senior adviser on November 27 – an event at which the PM is reported to have delivered a speech.
On December 18, similar numbers attended Christmas quiz and secret Santa events. One source described the events as “a Covid nightmare”.
At the time, people faced a fine of up to £10,000 if they held a gathering of more than 30 people indoors.
It is also claimed that there were "always parties" in the PM's Downing Street flat with wife Carrie Johnson said to be “addicted to them”.

Labour leader Keir Starmer questioned Johnson whether the gatherings had taken place and the PM refused to give a straight answer, instead saying that "all guidance was followed".
Stefanovic's new video highlights this lack of a straight answer and said: "You might again conclude that he was talking complete bollocks."

He followed up the video by saying: "We cannot allow the Government to bury this. In any other time it would be a resigning matter."
An, referring to the fact that his video detailing the PM's lies that has generated more than 40 million views was never discussed on the BBC, Stefanovic encouraged followers to share the video, adding: "Just imagine the reaction if this was broadcasted on the six o’clock news. On the assumption it won’t be you know what to do.."
