A parody video of Boris Johnson being interviewed about Partygate by an anti-corruption police unit during an episode of Line of Duty was released online today.
The footage shows clips of the Prime Minister merged with a police interview by Anti-Corruption Unit 12, or AC-12, the professional standards department from the hit crime drama.
It was created by anti-Brexit activist group Led By Donkeys, who posted it on social media with the caption, 'if you've got one shred of compassion for all those families who sacrificed so much, who lost so much, you'll go'.
Jed Mercurio, who wrote Line of Duty for the BBC, also shared the satirical clip on Twitter.
The television writer said it was 'brilliant work' by the camapaigners.
