London: British Prime Minister boris johnsonThe U.K.’s authority dealt another blow on Friday when their staff partyed in Downing Street as Queen Elizabeth mourned her husband, at a time when mixing indoors was banned.
Johnson is facing the worst of his premiership following news of a series of social gatherings at his residence during the Covid-19 lockdown, some held at a time when ordinary people bid farewell to relatives who have died. could not give.
Johnson is under increasing pressure from some of his own lawmakers to step down due to apparent rule-breaking on Downing Street, after pursuing a political career by defying accepted norms.
The Daily Telegraph said two other drinking parties were held inside Downing Street on April 16, 2021, when social gatherings were limited indoors and out. The newspaper said Johnson was at his Checkers Country residence that day.
Such was the joy in Downing Street, the newspaper said, that employees went to a nearby supermarket to buy a suitcase of wine, used a laptop to play music and broke down a hammock used by the prime minister’s young son. Gone.
The next day, Queen Elizabeth bid farewell to her husband, Prince Philip, 73, after his death at the age of 99.
Dressed in black and a white trimmed black face mask, 95-year-old Elizabeth cuts a poignant figure sitting alone in strict compliance with coronavirus rules, during a funeral service for Philip at Windsor Castle.
‘Leave the stage’
Opponents have called for the 57-year-old Johnson to resign, casting him as a charlatan who demanded that the British people follow some of the toughest rules in peacetime history while his own staff attended.
A small but growing number in his own Conservative Party have echoed those calls, fearing it will do permanent damage to his electoral prospects.
“Sadly, the position of the prime minister has become untenable,” said Conservative MP Andrew Bridghan, a former pro-Conservative of Johnson. “The time is right to leave the stage.”
Johnson has given a variety of explanations about the parties, ranging from denial that any rules were broken to express understanding to public anger at the apparent hypocrisy at the heart of the British state.
Foreign Minister Liz Truss said “real mistakes” had been made, but added: “…we need to look at the overall situation as a country, the fact that he (Johnson) delivered Brexit, that we Is recovering from Kovid… He has apologised.”
“I think now we need to go ahead and talk about how we are going to resolve the issues,” he told broadcasters on Friday.
To trigger the leadership challenge, 54 of the 360 Conservative members of parliament would have to write a letter of no confidence to the chairman of the party’s “1922 committee”.
The Telegraph said 30 such letters had been submitted.
Johnson faces a tough year ahead: Beyond Covid, inflation is rising, energy bills are rising, taxation will rise in April and his party faces local elections in May.
One of the parties in April 2021 was a leaving event in Downing Street for former director of communications James Slack, who apologized on Friday “due to anger and hurt”.
Slack, now deputy editor of the tabloid Sun newspaper, said in a statement to PA Media that the gathering “should not have happened when it did”.
British police said on Thursday they would not investigate gatherings at Johnson’s residence during the coronavirus lockdown until an internal government investigation found evidence of possible criminal offences.
