Downing Street has so far deflected criticism surrounding the alleged party, which was attended on 18 December 2020 by “dozens” of people, according to the BBC public radio. The official doctrine then went through prohibiting indoor meetings except for members of the same family bubble and limiting contacts as much as possible.
Stratton has resigned as spokesman in recent hours in the wake of the scandal, and Boris Johnson has been forced to apologize. It happened this Wednesday, as soon as the control session began in the House of Commons, to try to stop the avalanche of criticism unleashed between the conservative deputies and the opposition parties.
“I’m furious. I apologize for this offense to the whole country and for the impression it has left“Johnson said in a written statement.” I was told at all times that there had been no party, and that the rules had been respected at all times. I have ordered an internal investigation, and there will be disciplinary sanctions if found guilty. “
