Revelations of an email inviting 100 guests to attend a May 2020 party during strict lockdown measures have sparked outrage.
A potential scandal has erupted within the UK government after an email surfaced revealing that 100 people were invited to a garden party at 10 Downing Street in May 2020, while the rest of the country adhered to strict lockdown measures. The email, which instructed guests to “bring your own booze,” has raised serious questions about the Prime Minister’s and his wife’s involvement, with reports suggesting they were among the 40 attendees.
The Guardian, i, Daily Mirror, The Independent, and Metro have all reported on the allegations, which have ignited widespread anger, particularly given the public’s sacrifices during the pandemic. The incident adds fuel to ongoing criticism of Boris Johnson’s handling of the crisis and raises doubts about his leadership amidst mounting public pressure.
