UK prime minister’s office confirms staff gathered to celebrate his birthday

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing further allegations of rule-breaking parties during the pandemic, after his office confirmed staff had gathered in Downing Street to celebrate his birthday during the first lockdown in 2020.

The new allegations are likely to ramp up the anger and frustration among members of the ruling Conservative Party, many of whom have said they are waiting for the outcome of a wider government inquiry into the so-called partygate scandal before deciding if they still back the prime minister. Some Tory MPs have called for the prime minister to resign.

Johnson has so far managed to keep the number of rebels below the threshold. But months of turmoil in his government, including his botched handling of an ethics probe and a key parliamentary election loss, have damaged his standing. Support for the Tories has plummeted in opinion polls.
