Boris Johnson denies lying over lockdown parties

“Nobody told me that what we were doing was … against the rules,” Mr. Johnson told broadcasters.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday denied misleading Parliament about lockdown-breaching parties, as senior government ministers said he would have to resign if he was proven to have lied.
Former Johnson aide Dominic Cummings has said he is willing to swear under oath that the prime minister was warned in advance that a May 2020 garden party for Downing Street staff would break coronavirus restrictions.
Mr. Johnson denies he was warned. He told Parliament last week that he had attended the party, but considered it a work gathering that fell within the rules.
