Carrie Johnson offered to bring cake to Boris Johnson’s alleged lockdown-busting birthday party
The TelegraphCarrie Johnson sent messages to Downing Street staff offering to bring a cake to a birthday party for the Prime Minister that she instigated during the first lockdown, the Sue Gray inquiry has been told. The Telegraph can disclose that officials involved in the “partygate” investigation are looking into an exchange between Mrs Johnson and at least one other senior member of staff ahead of the gathering in June 2020. It is understood that in the exchange, Mrs Johnson asked the official to get staff together to celebrate Mr Johnson’s 56th birthday, while also confirming that she would personally organise a cake for him. The disclosure appears to undermine Downing Street’s previous denial that Mrs Johnson organised the gathering, which was reportedly attended by up to 30 people.
