Boris Johnson is facing more questions as there are talks that senior civil servant Sue Grey’s report could be published by Wednesday. Before the release, the PM is expected to address questions by noon.
MET Police announced their investigations and are due to ask the PM questions regarding their inquiry on the parties. More questions arise from the newest allegation that Boris Johnson held his birthday party at his residence during the lockdown. Among the lockdown measures was the limitation of gatherings to 2 people.
Many openly asks the PM to resign and voiced their lack of confidence in his leadership. The majority is urging to wait for the reports. Leader of the Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg said: “The government will behave entirely properly in terms of any statement, and the usual courtesies are extended to the opposition.”
Aside from his birthday, Boris Johnson is also alleged to have had drinking parties during the first lockdown. He is also alleged to have held parties during the funeral of Prince Philip. Dominic Cummings explicitly said he warned the PM not to hold the parties. On top of all this, allegations of blackmailing and bullying were pressed against the PM.
This indeed becomes a challenging start for the PM’s year in office.
