Partygate inquiry delays blamed on government foot-dragging

Exclusive: MPs investigating Boris Johnson's lockdown rule-breaking have been waiting more than three months for some evidence

The next phase of a high-stakes inquiry into whether Boris Johnson misled parliament over Partygate faces being delayed as a result of government failures to provide crucial evidence to MPs, sources have told the Guardian.

Despite a range of documents - including the former prime minister's diaries, event email invites, No 10 entry logs, briefing papers and WhatsApp messages - being requested more than three months ago, some have not been handed over yet.
