The 45-second clip shows revelers partying in December 2020 when the British public in London were banned from socializing indoors to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

LONDON, United Kingdom – Senior British minister Michael Gove on Sunday, June 18, described a video showing a party at the ruling Conservative Party’s headquarters during a lockdown in 2020 as “terrible,” as pandemic rule-breaking gatherings continue to hang over the government.

“It’s terrible,” Gove, the housing minister, told Sky News. “I think it’s completely out of order. I just want to apologize to everyone really.” Polls suggest the Conservatives, in power since 2010, are trailing the opposition Labour party by about 20% percentage points. The next election must be held by late 2024.Lawmakers will vote on Monday, June 19, on whether to endorse the privileges committee’s report. Although largely symbolic now Johnson has quit as a lawmaker, his supporters have said those who backed its findings could face a backlash from Conservative members and even face de-selection as parliamentary candidates.

The ongoing Johnson saga and COVID-19 “partygate” headlines will do little for Sunak’s attempts to focus on boosting Britain’s flagging economy, with homeowners facing large increases in mortgage repayments as the Bank of England hikes interest rates in a bid to curb stubbornly high inflation.
