“When I went out into that garden I thought that I was attending a work event.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under fire after he admitted to attending a social gathering while the UK was under strict lockdown in May 2020.LONDON -- British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday denied misleading Parliament about lockdown-breaching parties, as senior government ministers said he would have to resign if he was proven to have lied.
The garden party is one of a string of alleged rule-flouting government parties being investigated by senior civil servant Sue Gray. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab agreed that deliberately lying to Parliament was “normally ... a resigning matter.” But he dismissed Cummings’ claim Johnson was warned about the party as “nonsense.”
