- the UK prime minister outside of 10 Downing street.
This pushback is due to a recent controversy regarding illegal parties that were discovered to have occurred during lockdown.
Quote:
Downing Street was forced to issue an unprecedented public apology to the Queen on Friday over parties held in No 10 on the eve of her husband’s funeral, amid mounting fury from grassroots Tories.
Conservative MPs will hold crisis talks over the weekend about how to respond to allegations of a party culture in Westminster while the rest of the country was in lockdown.
The civil servant Sue Gray, who is investigating the allegations, is now understood to be looking at three more events, two held on the night before Prince Philip’s funeral on 16 April 2021 and one held on 17 December 2020.
In total 13 parties held on government premises while coronavirus restrictions were in place – most of them in Downing Street – have been disclosed. However allegations in the Mirror have said that events in No 10 became so regular they were dubbed “wine-time Fridays” and staff bought a drinks fridge to store their alcohol. The paper claims that Boris Johnson attended a “handful” of the events at a time when indoor socialising was banned.
