NOW SACK ZAC

Minister & Johnson allies tried to hamper lies probe

- DAVE BURKE

LABOUR has called for Government minister Zac Goldsmith to be sacked after he was named as one of eight Tories who intimidated MPs probing Boris Johnson's lockdown party lies.

It said together with Jacob Rees-Mogg, Nadine Dorries and Priti Patel he tried to undermine the Privileges Committee investigating whether the shamed PM misled MPs about No 10 Covid breaches.

Tory MPs Michael Fabricant, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Andrea Jenkyns and Mark Jenkinson are also accused of interfering with the probe, leaving members fearing for their safety.
