Queen mourns, Downing Street celebrates: report causes outrage

As the newspaper “Daily Telegraph” reported on Friday night, a total of around 30 people took part. They drank alcohol and danced. At that time, there were strict contact and distance rules due to the corona pandemic. The Queen, due to regulations, had to sit all alone in the chapel at her Windsor residence the next day when her husband of 73 years was buried there.

The photo was of the lonely Queen one of the defining impressions of the pandemic and touched the hearts of millions of Britons. The outrage is now all the greater. «While she mourned, No. 10,” said Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey. Although Johnson himself did not attend the April 16, 2021 parties, nor was he present at Downing Street, he is held responsible for the behavior of his staff. “I have no words for the culture and behavior in No. 10,” said Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the main opposition Labor party. The fish stinks from the head.

It is the first lockdown party in the seat of government from 2021 that is known. So far, several celebrations in May and December 2020 have become public. A report from Monday caused a lot of trouble. Accordingly, on May 20, 2020, Johnson’s office manager invited around 100 employees to a garden party in an email. He emphasized: “Bring your own alcohol.”

Johnson apologized in Parliament on Wednesday for the impression that those who make the Corona rules do not follow them. He acknowledged being present in the garden for 25 minutes on May 20, 2020. According to his impression, it was a work meeting. In retrospect, Johnson said he was wrong.

However, he called for the results of an ongoing internal investigation to be awaited before consequences are drawn. The opposition is already demanding his resignation. Some MPs from Johnson’s Conservative Party have also called on the Prime Minister to resign.

Due to the close proximity to the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh, who is extremely popular with the people, the celebrations that have now become known are considered to be particularly dangerous for Johnson. Downing Street did not deny the parties, as also reported by the BBC. Johnson’s former communications director James Slack gave a farewell speech to thank his staff, a spokeswoman said. She did not go into further details. According to the Telegraph, the second farewell was about a personal photographer of the Prime Minister. Strict distance rules were in force in mid-April 2021, members of different households were not allowed to meet in closed rooms.

As the “Telegraph” reported, an advisor to Johnson was temporarily responsible for the music. Several bottles of wine from a nearby supermarket were brought in a suitcase as a refill. A participant used his son’s swing in the garden of Johnson’s official residence and broke it. The two initially separate events would have mixed up around midnight.

Commentators rated the article in the “Telegraph”, which is actually Johnson’s house newspaper and for which the 57-year-old used to work himself, as part of the Power struggle over the prime minister’s future. Johnson has been trying with all his might to rally supporters around for days. If 15 percent of the 360 ​​conservative MPs speak out against the prime minister, there will be a vote of no confidence in the parliamentary group.
