British media publish new details of the scandalous parties of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson: at the events that eventually led to his resignation , the guests had sex.
The parties took place in May 2020, during a period of strict quarantine in the UK, when the British were fined for violations of social distance. Johnson at this time gathered with colleagues on Downing Street at parties, these events were attended by 19 people.
According to The Times, at a party that took place on Downing Street with the participation of Johnson the day before the funeral of Prince Philip, the staff of the head of government not only drank alcohol, but also allowed themselves “even more depraved” behavior than previously reported. Numerous witnesses saw the two “touch each other, hug each other in the kitchen, and then retire to a separate room, from where they later emerged ‘overexcited.'” There were also reports of another couple. the details of these parties were previously known from there.In
addition, journalists report that Johnson joked about the coronavirus quarantine established in the UK at that time.Thus, he called the scandalous party “the most unsocially distanced party.”
This was told by the source of the ITV publication, an employee of the Johnson administration. He also stated that he happened to be late at work and saw this moment. At the same time, everyone stood close, “like in a subway car,” without observing the prescribed social distance.
Johnson himself, after a scandal erupted around these parties, made a public apology and said that he had paid the due fine. He noted that “it never crossed his mind” that the birthday party could break the rules, and added that the event was not a party, but “an employee meeting.” At that time, the scandal was hushed up, although many politicians insisted on passing a vote of no confidence in Johnson.
In addition to the party scandals, Johnson found himself in another unpleasant situation. So, the deputy chief organizer of the ruling Conservative Party in the House of Commons, Chris Pincher, staged a drunken brawl in an elite club and harassed two men, in addition, he had other cases of harassment . When it emerged that Johnson knew that Pincher was the subject of a harassment investigation, appointing him to a high position, more than 50 members of Johnson’s government, including the secretaries of education and finance, resigned. Johnson himself resigned soon after.
He was replaced as British Prime Minister by Liz Truss, who resigned 44 days in office after trying to push through tax reforms that in turn led to a sharp drop in the stock market, the pound sterling and confidence in the government.
