He told BBC News: “If anybody went there in any kind of senior capacity who thought they were right to attend the party while they were announcing on TV the same night the rules that you couldn’t have parties, anyone who willingly attended that can’t possibly have a position of setting Covid policy. Nigel Mills, a Conservative MP has said Mr Johnson’s must “come out and say whatever happened” Up until reports of the parties have focused on the period surrounding Christmas 2020, when the country was under its second lockdown.

Lockdown measures were imposed in March 2020 in a bid to stop the spread of the virus and it wasn’t until June 1, 2020, that people were allowed to meet in groups of six outdoors.

Boris Johnson has been urged to come clean about attending a “bring your own booze” party in the No10 garden during the first lockdown.
