The cascade of news about the illegal parties held in the residence and office of the British minister do not stop happening, as well as the ‘mea culpa’ of those involved, which, judging by the new revelations, are only crocodile tears. Because now it has transpired that these celebrations were not specific events, but Every Friday in Downing Street the music played and the alcohol flowed. So much so, that the officials bought a fridge to keep the bottles of white wine, prosecco and beer cool, according to the newspaper ‘The Mirror’, which adds that every Friday the workers took turns going to a local supermarket to buy the drinks. , which they put in the same suitcase with wheels that they used after buying them before the parties held on the eve of the Funeral of Prince Philip of Edinburgh.
The news has come to light precisely after the ‘premier’ apologized in Parliament for having attended a large event in the garden, and Downing Street apologized to the Queen isabel II. The sources cited by the newspaper affirm that Boris Johnson knew perfectly well what was happening, but from the official residence they have not commented on it. A spokesman for the prime minister merely told SkyNews that “there is an ongoing investigation to establish the facts” that revolves “around the nature of the meetings”, including “attendance, setting and purpose”. It should be remembered that, according to Johnson, he attended one of the celebrations believing that it was a work event. “The results will be made public in due course,” the spokesman said. Public official Sue Gray, with a reputation for irreproachable, is in charge of the investigation, whose report could be ready in the coming days.
For Keir Starmer, Leader of the Labor Partya, “instead of concentrating on overcoming the pandemic and reducing waiting lists”, the conservative party, which he described as “self-indulgent” is “fighting for a leader who should have known from the beginning that he is not fit for office” . “We are witnessing the spectacle of a prime minister mired in deception and deception, unable to lead,” he said. “Johnson has completely degraded the great office of the prime minister with his antics. It is time for Conservative MPs to put the national interest first and kick him out,” said Shadow Health Officer Jon Ashworth.
Despite requests from several deputies, even among the Tory ranks, for Johnson to resign at once, it seems that this decision is not in his plans. The newspaper ‘The Independent’ reported in an exclusive that Johnson has already prepared a list of high-ranking officials ready to resign due to this ‘partygate’ scandal, in an attempt to save himself. Among the scapegoats of this plan, baptized by the ‘premier’ as operation ‘Save Big Dog’ (save al perro grande) It would be Martin Reynolds, his private secretary and sender of the email inviting more than a hundred people to bring their own drink to a party on May 20, 2020 in Downing Street Gardens.
