Boris Johnson's partygate defence has been slammed as 'complete and utter nonsense' by a man whose father died of Covid. Lobby Akinnola's father Kemi was buried the day before then-PM Johnson was photographed sitting with his wife Carrie and staff at a table with wine and cheese in the No 10 garden.
Mr Akinnola, 32, is a data analyst and spokesperson for Covid-19 Bereaved Families For Justice, from Walthamstow in London. His father Femi, 60, died with Covid in April 2020 before being buried in May.
Mr Akinnola told the PA news agency: "(Johnson) accepts he misled Parliament, but he did it in good faith because he was not aware at the time that what he was doing was breaking any rules. I think it's just, I mean, complete and utter nonsense.
