Anguish and frustration have erupted as more details have emerged revealing a birthday party for Boris Johnson which took place inside Downing Street last year.
The Prime Minister is facing fresh allegations of breaking his own coronavirus restrictions while the nation was under lockdown restrictions limited to outdoor socialising for up to six people.
Downing Street conceded staff “gathered briefly” in the Cabinet Room following a meeting after it was alleged 30 people attended and shared cake despite social mixing indoors being banned.
