Photos appear to show Boris Johnson at lockdown party
The Independent says Boris Johnson’s premiership has been thrust deeper into peril with the publication of photographs showing him drinking wine with Downing Street staff in the depths of England’s second Covid lockdown in 2020.
The pictures, obtained by ITV News as Westminster awaits the imminent publication of Sue Gray’s report into the Partygate scandal, throw doubt on the prime minister’s claim to the House of Commons that no party took place and no rules were broken in No 10.
And they raise the question of why the Metropolitan Police did not fine the PM for taking part in the leaving party for former director of communications Lee Cain on 13 November 2020, when others were penalised for attending.
The images emerged amid growing chaos and tension at the heart of government over the Partygate scandal, with insiders describing the atmosphere in No 10 and the Cabinet Office as “daggers drawn”.
