Northumberland's Labour leader has accused Boris Johnson of "taking the British public for fools" as he calls on the county's Tory head to condemn his own boss.
Druridge Bay Councillor Scott Dickinson, leader of Northumberland's Labour group, says he's written to council leader Glen Sanderson urging him to publicly condemn the Prime Minister and his team over the now-notorious "bring your own booze" event in the Downing Street garden in May 2020.
Mr Johnson's confession that he did attend the event during the first lockdown caused outrage last week - with many in the North East adding their voices to those criticising the PM.
