Nottingham has reacted to the findings of Sue Gray's damning report published over the partygate scandal at Number 10 Downing Street. Mr Johnson said he takes “full responsibility” for the scandal but sought to play down his personal involvement in the gatherings detailed in the report by the senior official.
Sue Gray said she learned of multiple examples of “unacceptable” treatment of security and cleaning staff during her partygate investigation. Staff were also found to drink excessively in the workplace on some occasions, with staff carrying on drinking until the early hours of the morning and one senior advisor - Martin Reynolds - boasting that "we seem to have got away with" one party.
The report said the “senior leadership” in No 10 must “bear responsibility” for the culture which led to lockdown rules being broken at a series of events in 2020 and 2021.
