Boris Johnson attended most of the well-known parties on Downing Street so far in the middle of lockdowns which are under police investigation, British newspapers reveal.
The Guardian refers to the January 14, 2021 rally included in its incomplete ‘partygate’ report by senior state official Sue Gray, as a rally “for the departure of two private secretaries of No. 10”.
Guardian sources claim that the rally, eight days after the imposition of a general ban in England, was consumed as a precaution. The British Prime Minister reportedly attended for about five minutes, giving a short speech of thanks to an official of his office who was moving to the Ministry of Culture.
Mr. Johnson is placed in the same gathering by the Daily Telegraph, citing its sources.
The Telegraph adds that the Prime Minister was seen going up to his apartment on Downing Street on the night of November 13, 2020, while loud music was being played. Mr Johnson’s former adviser, Dominic Cummings, has complained that Prime Minister Carrie Simonts’s wife, who was celebrating his ousting from Downing Street and her husband’s office, had a party in the apartment that night.
As it was written weeks ago, among others at the party he played the song ‘The Winner Takes It All’ by ABBA.
The Telegraph also reports that two of the potentially criminal rallies that Gray pointed out in her report and are now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police involved close Johnson’s close advisers, Hannah Young (June 18, 2020) and Llohem St. (17 December 2020).
At least in the second meeting, again amid a ban on indoor gatherings, Mr. Johnson was present for a few minutes.
This means that Mr. Johnson is placed by witnesses in at least five rallies or parties out of the 12 that are under police investigation. The other two were the surprise mini-party for his birthday in the Cabinet on June 19, 2020, and the drink party in the Downing Street Garden at the invitation of Secretary-General Martin Reynolds on May 20, 2020.
Meanwhile, in a new post on the internet on Tuesday, Dominic Cummings claims that there are photos of the Prime Minister at a party under police investigation, including in his apartment on November 13, 2020.
He also wrote that people underestimate the extent to which Boris Johnson “literally lies to everyone literally all day.”
