London — A long-awaited report into parties at the residence and workplace of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson during the height of the country's 2020 coronavirus lockdown has found that "at least some of the gatherings in question represent a serious failure to observe not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart of Government but also of the standards expected of the entire British population at the time."
The report published on Monday was put together by civil servant Sue Gray, but she had to constrain what she made public, as 12 of the gatherings in question are now being investigated by London's Metropolitan Police.
Gray's report lists 16 gatherings in total, all of which took place at Johnson's official residence, 10 Downing Street, when it was forbidden for people to meet indoors with anyone from outside of their household.
