The controversy on the very lucrative double jobs of Conservative members did not even have time to fall that the Johnson government faces a new scandal. On November 30, the Daily Mirror revealed that, in December 2020, the end-of-year holidays were organized with impunity at Downing Street, just when the Prime Minister Boris Johnson invited his fellow citizens to give up their family agapes.
Since Keir Starmer, the Labor opposition leader accused Boris Johnson to “take the British for fools”, and Labor members filed a complaint with the Greater London metropolitan police. Scotland Yard said, Saturday, December 4, only if the police had “not used to retrospectively examine all possible violations of the anti-Covid-19”, she would still be “taking into consideration” these complaints.
“Play against plays”
According to the Daily Mirror, which quotes government sources, December 18, 2020, “between 40 and 50 people were piled up play against plays in a medium size room” at Downing Street. The BBC, who got confirmation of this party, says that there were “drinks, food, and games” – a quiz and a Santa Secret – and that the party lasted “until after midnight”. Even December 18, the country recorded 514 CVIV-19 deaths, and the London region had just moved on to maximum alert: indoor gatherings with people outside their homes were prohibited. On December 19th, Mr. Johnson still curled the rules asking his fellow citizens to permanently give up Christmas. Has followed a long and difficult confinement, whose England has started out until March 2021.
Boris Johnson did not denied these revelations and defended by saying that “all the” sanitary rules had been respected. At the statement of the facts described, Dominic Raab, his Minister of Justice, said, Sunday, December 5, that they were “anonymous sources”, while recognizing that “if anyone organized parties contrary to rules, it would be a bad thing “.
