UK Ex-PM Boris Johnson Apologises Over Partygate Scandal Again, Says Didn't Do It Recklessly Or Deliberately

ABP News  

Boris Johnson has once again apologised over the Partygate scandal, this time for “inadvertently misleading” the British Parliament over the COVID law-breaking parties at Downing Street during his time as prime minister. Johnson said the meeting, which happened while social distancing rules were in place, was "necessary" because two senior members of staff were about to leave "in potentially acrimonious circumstances". 10 Downing Street as it is a "cramped, narrow 18th Century townhouse" and they had no choice but to meet "day in, day out, seven days a week in an unrelenting battle against COVID". "I will believe till the day I die that it was my job to thank the staff for what they had done, especially during a crisis like COVID, which kept coming back, which seemed to have no end," he said, with reference to the so-called farewell events for staff over the lockdown period.
