In response, Agence France-Presse commented that the British prime minister's cautious wording seemed to have exonerated him of any personal responsibility even if other government officials had misbehaved.
On the 17th local time, Cummings, a former senior adviser to the British Prime Minister, said on personal social media that for the gathering in the British government garden on May 20, 2020, although at least two people protested before the incident, Johnson not only gave the green light to the holding of the party, but also personally participated in the party. Cummings stressed that Johnson knew it was a break from the rules, but he lied in parliament saying "he thought it was just a work activity".
