Reports Boris Johnson attended another 'Downing Street party' in the run up to Christmas 2020

The pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson has increased as it was revealed he reportedly attended another 'lockdown party' in the form of a leaving do for his defence adviser in the run-up to Christmas 2020 while the rest of the country faced strict coronavirus restrictions.

Mr Johnson is facing calls to resign over a string of lockdown parties at No10 and the Mirror reports that the "cowardly" PM looks set to attempt to shift the blame away from himself in a bid to save his job.

It is reported he may shift blame on to members of the civil service rather than take ownership of the scandal engulfing Downing Street, with those staff likely to face the exit door.
