UK Partygate Scandal: Senior civil servant Sue Grays long-awaited report into lockdown-breaching U.K. government parties was published Wednesday.
Britain's political leaders and top officials "must bear responsibility" for the culture that led to numerous lockdown-breaching parties in Downing Street, said a long-awaited report by a senior civil servant published on Wednesday.
"The events that I investigated were attended by leaders in government," the report, compiled by Sue Gray, said, adding: "Many of these events should not have been allowed to happen.
"The senior leadership at the centre, both political and official, must bear responsibility for this culture."
The 60-page report by Gray, the top civil servant in the Cabinet Office which supports prime ministers and ensures the effective running of government, follows a months-long probe into the "Partygate" scandal.
