LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced a wave of public and political outrage on yesterday over allegations that he and his staff flouted coronavirus lockdown rules by holding a garden party in 2020 while Britons were barred by law from mingling outside the home.
Opposition politicians called for a police investigation after broadcaster ITV published a leaked e-mail invitation to “socially distanced drinks” in the garden of the prime minister’s Downing Street office and residence in May 2020. The e-mail from the prime minister’s Private Secretary Martin Reynolds was sent to dozens of people and urged attendees to “bring your own drink”.
