What does the election commission probe mean for Boris Johnson? – BBC Newsnight

The Electoral Commission has launched an investigation into the Conservative Party for reforming Boris Johnson’s weight. The spending warden said there are “reasonable grounds to suspect a crime or offense may have occurred.” The prime minister is under increasing pressure to say how the reforms were paid after his former adviser Dominic Cummings said there was a plan to “secretly pay” donors. Johnson has told lawmakers he has “personally” covered the renovation work, but will not say who paid the initial bill. So why does that matter? And what could he say about Boris Johnson’s future? Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reported. #Newsnight #BBCNews.
