Johnson blasted for ‘Partygate’ culture

LONDON: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson presided over a culture of lockdown-breaking parties that featured drunken vomiting and fighting among staff, according to an inquiry yesterday that prompted renewed calls for his resignation.

Johnson is among dozens of people in Downing Street who have received police fines for breaching Covid regulations since 2020. “I take full responsibility for everything that took place on my watch,” he said.

The report showed photographs of Johnson toasting staff with wine, and recounted revelling into the early hours with karaoke music.
