Families and friends who lost loved ones to Covid criticise Boris Johnson over Downing Street gathering
Bereaved families and friends of people who died from Covid have criticised Boris Johnson over a photo that has emerged showing the prime minister at a gathering with wine and cheese in the Downing Street garden with his wife and up to 17 staff in an apparent breach of lockdown rules.
The photo was shared with the Guardian after No 10’s denial last week that there was a social event on Friday 15 May 2020 that included wine, spirits and pizza, inside and outside the building. Johnson’s spokesperson said Downing Street staff were working in the garden in the afternoon and evening.
