Boris Johnson “submitted himself to the investigation” conducted by senior state official Sue Gray for the parties on Downing Street in the middle of a lockdown, said the Minister of Education Nadim Zahaoui, confirming a publication of the Telegraph.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is under pressure from the revelations about the multiple parties, with six members of his Conservative Party having publicly supported his resignation and the polls giving a ten-point lead to the Labor Party.
Mr. Zahawi, as Mr. Johnson himself and other ministers have done, advised patience until the conclusion of the investigation. “You do not convict a person without a thorough investigation,” the British Education Minister told Sky News. Ms. Gray is expected to complete this research next week.
Nadim Zahawi also denied a claim by a well-known Sunday Times columnist that two Downing Street officials had warned the prime minister that a May 20, 2020, rally in the prime minister’s office garden had been invited by staff. , was a party and had to be canceled.
Mr Johnson admitted in Parliament that he had attended that meeting and apologized, but said he thought it was a working meeting.
Both Zahawi and a Downing Street spokesman said it was untrue that the prime minister had been warned before the event.
The Daily Mirror, meanwhile, reveals that Boris Johnson was briefly present at a farewell rally on Downing Street for his defense adviser, Captain Steve Hayham. The small gathering took place shortly before Christmas 2020, when indoor gatherings were banned.
