Cummings also claimed last week that there would be “witnesses who say ‘we could all hear a party with ABBA playing’”.Both Boris and Carrie Johnson have denied the claims, while Downing Street said in a statement last week that the PM would “ask Sue Gray to update her work in light of what is found” by the Metropolitan Police when they have concluded their inquiries.In a new interview with PA (via i News), ABBA’s Benny Andersson has now given his reaction to the reports that his band’s music was apparently played at the alleged party.“You can’t call it an ABBA party,” he said.
