Outraged North East leaders have vented their fury and demanded that Boris Johnson resign after a “sickening” report into lockdown parties in Downing Street was finally released.
A limited version of Sue Gray’s report was published on Monday afternoon and condemned a “serious failure” to observe the high standards expected of those working at the heart of Government and of the entire British public during the Covid pandemic.
The “update” document revealed that 12 events are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, including a gathering in the Downing Street flat and one to mark the Tory Prime Minister’s birthday in June 2020.
