The Metropolitan Police are contacting greater than 50 individuals believed to have attended lockdown events at Johnson’s Downing Street workplace and residence to clarify their involvement.
Johnson’s spokesperson mentioned in a press release, “We can affirm the Prime Minister has acquired a questionnaire from the Metropolitan Police. He will reply as required.”
Police are investigating 12 gatherings held at No. 10 Downing Street after an inside inquiry discovered Johnson’s employees had loved alcohol-fuelled events, with the British chief attending a number of of the occasions himself. At the time many individuals couldn’t attend funerals or say farewell to family members dying in hospital resulting from strict Covid-19 lockdown guidelines, and the revelations have sparked widespread anger.
Some lawmakers within the prime minister’s personal occasion have joined the opposition in calling for him to stop.
Johnson has apologised and promised to vary the tradition on the high of presidency after the inquiry discovered a “serious lack of leadership”. After 5 aides stop, he has appointed new employees to senior roles.
