On the evening of 16 April 2021, advisers and officials are said to have gathered for two different parties in Downing Street, at the same time as the UK was almost completely shut down, it writes The Telegraph.
At the same time as the parties are said to have taken place in Downing Street, Queen Elizabeth sat alone at her husband Prince Phillip’s funeral.
According to The Telegraph the parties in Downing Street were held to mark the departure of two colleagues. According to witnesses, alcohol must have been drunk and guests must have danced to music.
– I want to apologize completely unreservedly for having caused anger and hurt feelings, says James Slack, who was one of those who quit, in a statement.
Around 30 people are said to have participated in the two parties, which later merged into one party.
At that time, in England, it was only allowed to meet in groups of six people or people from two households outdoors.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has not been in Downing Street that day.
The two parties are the latest in a series of accusations of partying in Downing Street.
Under hard pressure
Boris Johnson has been under very heavy pressure in the last week after he confirmed that he had attended a garden party, when the UK was shut down in May 2020.
The Labor Party on Wednesday demanded that Johnson resign as prime minister. But, according to UK expert Erik Mustad, Johnson will probably not resign voluntarily.
