Another alleged Downing Street party during the pandemic emerges. On Monday 24 January, ITV News reports that Boris Johnson allegedly celebrated his birthday with up to 30 people during the UK’s first ever lockdown.

Boris Johnson’s birthday in lockdown
According to information from the British channel, up to 30 people were reportedly present at the event. They celebrated in the Cabinet Room at Number 10. There was food and they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Johnson with a cake. According to Downing Street, quoted by ‘ITV’, some members of staff gathered “briefly” to wish a happy birthday to Johnson, who stayed for less than 10 minutes.

On the other hand, the channel explains that on the same day they welcomed friends of the Prime Minister’s family inside his official residence. This, on the other hand, would also violate the rules, which Downing Street denies to others. Downing Street claims that the prime minister only received a small number of family members outside. If they confirm that this celebration took place, this birthday party would join the long list of celebrations held in Downing Street during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
