In full: Boris Johnson on thigh squeezing allegations, Brexit negotiations and the Hulk | ITV News

Boris Johnson has told ITV News he doesn't remember having lunch with a journalist who accuses him of squeezing her thigh under the table without her permission when the pair were sitting together.

He was referring to a claim made by Sunday Times columnist Charlotte Edwardes when the pair were attending an event held by the Spectator magazine in 1999 - where he was editor.

The prime minister had previously denied the allegation, but in an interview with ITV News Political Correspondent Paul Brand, he said he has no recollection of ever attending the event in question.

When asked if he could remember the event, Mr Johnson responded: "All I know is it is not true."

When pressed, the prime minister conceded, "to be honest, I have no memory whatever".
