British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, went to a farewell party for one of his advisers in Downing Street a few days before Christmas 2020, when the citizens of the United Kingdom were asked not to get together with family and friends, in a new episode of the so-called ‘Partygate’ that has put the conservative politician on the ropes.
Johnson faces a new accusation with a dozen parties held at his official residence during the toughest moments of the pandemic. According to The Mirror, the prime minister attended a party to bid farewell to Captain Steve Higham, one of his defense advisers until mid-December 2020.
According to published information, the prime minister went to the scene “for a few minutes” to thank Higham for his service and gave a farewell speech.
The leader of the British Executive has had to give explanations to Sue Gray, the official in charge of the investigation into malpractice in Downing Street and whose report could end the career of the eccentric conservative politician.
Downing Street cleanup and alcohol ban
Boris Johnson has two rabbits under the hat to try to get out of the ‘Partygate‘. According to the newspaper ‘The Sunday Times’, the British Prime Minister is planning a major cleanup of charges, in addition to a package of “populist” measures named ‘operation red meat‘.
The Sunday advances that Johnson has his two closest collaborators between his eyebrows: Dan Rosenfield -his chief of staff- and Marin Reynolds -personal secretary-. He blames both of them for not having been able to get the information about the British Government parties to light.
In addition to this ‘cleaning’, Johnson proposes measures such as ban alcohol consumption in Downing Street or freeze the rate that citizens pay to finance the BBC, as well as putting the army at the forefront of the fight against irregular immigration in the English Channel.
Johnson, additionally, could lift coronavirus restrictions on January 26 and streamline waiting lists in public health.
