Following the recent party scandal, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was interrogated by senior civil servant Sue Gray, who is investigating allegations of breaches of lockdown measures imposed in the UK to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Sources, who wished to remain unnamed, revealed that Johnson informed Gray of everything he knows ahead of the report's release this week, according to the British newspaper "Telegraph."
The Prime Minister faces heavy criticism for not adhering to the rules during the pandemic when he attended a gathering at his official residence during the initial lockdown measures in the UK.
Public Outrage
It is worth noting that Johnson apologized for attending a party in the Downing Street garden in May 2020 when staff were asked to bring their own drinks for the event while strict rules were in place that nearly prohibited all forms of social interaction.
Amid public anger that the government did not follow the rules it imposed on citizens during the pandemic, an internal investigation has been launched regarding this party and several others, including two separate gatherings held on the eve of Prince Philip's funeral.
The scandal has led to calls for Johnson's resignation, including demands from within the Conservative Party, and polls have shown a significant decline in the party's popularity, with the Labour Party overtaking them, according to Reuters.
