Boris Johnson received the report of the investigation into the violation of the rules of the lockdown party on Downing Street. The finding could increase pressure on the British prime minister to resign.
THE Boris Johnson will make a statement on the finding in the House of Commons and, according to information from the BBC, will say: “I take full responsibility for my mistakes”.
The report by chief investigator Sue Gray is expected to be released later in the day, as new photos and descriptions of parties at the prime minister’s office and residence come to light in recent days, renewing demands for his resignation.
The findings of the investigation are expected to provide more details about the organization of these events in the heart of British power, when the country was forced to follow very strict restrictive rules in daily life to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We are able to confirm that Sue Gray delivered the final report to the prime minister “, a representative of the prime minister’s office announced earlier.
Degrading the issue, Government Environment Minister Johnson George Justis said earlier that police have already investigated all of these incidents on Downing Street.
“They fined the prime minister for one of the incidents he attended. “He paid the fine,” he told Times Radio. “He apologized … So, I’m sure nothing new will come out of this finding, except for extra details, but … of course we’ll look into it.”
The media coverage of Downing Street’s party months ago forced Boris Johnson to finally apologize, change faces in the prime minister’s office, and try to change the agenda and regain his lost prestige.
But he has not been able to stop the voices calling for his resignation, especially if it turns out that he has misled Parliament. The relevant parliamentary inquiry is ongoing.
The failure of leadership responsibility and crisis that led to the illegal parties on Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Downing Street during the lockdown, is the result of the investigation conducted by top public official Sue Gray in the Partygate case.
“Responsibility for this culture must lie with the top central leadership, both political and official,” the report said. “Many of these events should not have been allowed to happen.”
