John Howell, the MP for Henley, has declined to provide comments on the ongoing investigation into the illegal parties that took place at 10 Downing Street during the pandemic. He stated that it is premature to comment due to the ongoing investigation by the Met Police. Howell also referenced previous remarks made to the Henley Standard, expressing appreciation for his constituents' candid feedback on the matter and noting that he did not support Boris Johnson in the 2019 Tory leadership vote.
