British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has more questions to answer after it emerged that one of his top officials sent an invitation to a Downing Street party to dozens of employees amid the first Covid-19 lockdown in the country.
The email, from Johnson's principal private secretary Martin Reynolds, invited more than 100 staffers to"socially distanced drinks in the No. 10 garden" on May 20, 2020.At that time, strict lockdown restrictions were in place in England. Mixing between households was limited to two people, who could only meet outdoors and at a distance of at least 2 meters . In workplaces, official guidance stated that in-person meetings should only take place if"absolutely necessary.
She was tasked with investigating the reports after Cabinet Secretary Simon Case was removed from the probe after it was revealed he had known about a party held in his own department. Johnson has faced multiple claims that social events were held inside 10 Downing Street in the run up to Christmas 2020, when local restrictions barred such gatherings. Last month, a photo emerged allegedly showing Johnson drinking wine with Downing Street staff during a gathering that took place on May 15, 2020.
