'Boris said nothing wrong was done... it's a lie': MP who lost THREE relatives to Covid speaks out as 'Partygate' fines issued

A Manchester MP who lost three relatives to coronavirus says Boris Johnson must consider taking responsibility as the first 'Partygate' fines are issued.

Afzal Khan lost his mother, his mother-in-law and his father-in-law to Covid in a heartbreaking triple tragedy. But despite families like his following strict rules as they mourned loved ones, a string of alleged lockdown-busting parties took place at 10 Downing Street.
