Another week, another damning party allegation. Boris Johnson reportedly had a birthday party during the first lockdown in 2020, according to ITV News. It is said to have been attended by up to 30 people, including the interior designer Lulu Lytle, on the afternoon of 19 June.
While the alleged festivities were taking place, the mood across the country was more muted. Throughout the pandemic, singing near others was cautioned against owing to fears it could aid the spread of the virus. Gatherings were permitted for up to six people outdoors, but they were not permitted indoors. It was not until more than two weeks later, on 4 July, that indoor gatherings between two households were permitted.
