Party scandal triggers crisis Johnson is experiencing its worst crisis

author:Bright Net

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has recently been thrust into the forefront of public opinion over the party scandal during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the passage of time, the pressure of public opinion has not decreased, and the new scandals have increased frequently, resulting in the decline in public support of the ruling Conservative Party, and the party's demand for Johnson to step down has gradually risen.

British media described Johnson as experiencing the worst crisis since he took office in 2019.

The British media exposed many illegal cocktail parties during the epidemic prevention period of the Prime Minister's Office, and Johnson also participated in them.

Johnson admitted for the first time during questioning in the lower house of parliament on the 12th of this month to attend a cocktail party in the garden of the Prime Minister's Office during the "lockdown" in May 2020. He apologized for that, but argued that he thought it was an official event. He said that "no one told me" that the cocktail party violated the epidemic prevention regulations.

However, Johnson's former chief adviser Dominic Cummings gave a very different account. The British "Mirror" quoted Cummings on the 18th to report that a number of senior government officials had reminded that holding a cocktail party in the garden of the Prime Minister's Palace violated epidemic prevention regulations, and Johnson ignored these advices.
