PM visits Scotland as UK and Scottish governments agree green freeports deal

Boris Johnson has declined to say if he has completed a questionnaire sent to him by the Metropolitan Police to account for parties he’s accused of attending during lockdown.

With parliament in recess, the prime minister was in Scotland today at the beginning of a tour to promote his levelling up agenda, hastily curtailed because of the crisis in Ukraine, while Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was in Sunderland.
