During a session of Prime Minister’s Questions in Parliament on Wednesday 12 January, Boris Johnson apologized in the House of Commons for attending an event in the back garden of 10 Downing Street on 20 May 2020. At first, Mr. Johnson denied being at the party and showed a lack of information on the lockdown party at 10 Downing Street. But later, he confessed he had attended the party.
Still, he insisted it was a work gathering against government rules and regulations on social distancing during the first wave of Coronavirus and claimed that he was there at the party for 25 minutes before going inside to work. This claim by Mr. Johnson could suppress the unrest in the position of the Conservative Party, but it incited doubts and disbelief among critics. The Opposition Party Leader, Keir Starmer, said that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s excuse is offensive and absurd; he also demanded resignation from the Prime Minister.
