London Even after the release of the long-awaited Partygate report, reports of Boris Johnson’s attendance at more Downing Street lockdown parties continue to flow. The “Guardian” reported on Wednesday about a farewell party in January 2021, which is being examined by the police and at which Johnson is said to have been present.
The Telegraph, citing inside sources, wrote that Johnson also attended a celebration at his own home in November 2020. He was seen walking upstairs where Abba songs such as “The Winner Takes It All” were said to be playing, the source said. This party only became known through the report of top official Sue Gray.
After the publication of the report, which accuses those responsible in the British seat of government of leadership failure and serious misconduct in complying with Corona rules, it is observed with excitement how many MPs from the conservative Tory party have voiced their distrust in Johnson. If at least 54 do so, there would be a vote of no confidence.
On Wednesday, another prominent Tory, Tobias Ellwood, told Sky News he would write a letter to the relevant committee expressing his distrust in Johnson. How many of these letters have already been received is unclear.
