Boris in a Sky interview today:
Question: Did you intervene to secure a peerage for Evgeny Lebedev when the Security Services thought he posed a national Security threat?
Boris Johnson: 'That's simply incorrect'. Then waffle about Putin's agenda for about a minute
Question: Did you meet with him in March 2020, at the height of the pandemic, to discuss giving him a peerage?
Boris Johnson: Didn't answer the question but instead went on about Putin for about another couple of minutes
A simple yes or no would have done.
