Tory former minister Richard Holden has now written to the Prime Minister asking him to say whether he thinks it was a breach of the law.

保守党前部长理查德·霍顿（Richard Holden）现在写信给总理，要求他说他是否认为这是违反法律的。

霍尔顿先生是巴西尔顿和比勒里克利的国会议员，还询问凯尔爵士现在是否任命一名独立调查员来清除索赔。

他还问：“您认为其他公众在第4层限制期间获得表演课是正确的吗？”

Signing off the letter, the Tory MP added: “There is a strong public interest into your conduct during the pandemic and it is clear from these revelations that not only have you misled the public but you had a casual disregard for the law at a time when so many people were making such difficult sacrifices all in the service of advancing your own political career.

保守党议员签署了这封信，并补充说：“在大流行期间，您的行为有很大的公众利益，从这些启示中可以明显看出，您不仅误导了公众，而且一次偶然地无视法律。当这么多人做出如此艰难的牺牲时，全部牺牲了自己的政治生涯。

“You have said ‘honesty and decency matters’ – I hope you will treat these questions to you with the same standards you asked of others.”

据说，在本书摘录的其他地方，唐宁街的参谋长摩根·麦克斯威尼（Morgan McSweeney）被描述为“像人力资源经理，而不是领导者”。

据称，麦克斯威尼先生私下表达了担心总理“可能太胆小”，但也形容凯尔爵士是“非常聪明的”和“不是完全不政治的”。

她与劳拉·库恩斯伯格（Laura Kuenssberg）告诉英国广播公司（BBC）的周日：“我认为您对Keir Starmer的看法是改变国家的真正决心。
