Boris Johnson is facing fresh calls to resign amid reports that a 'boozy photo of him at his birthday bash has been handed to the Met'
Boris Johnson is facing fresh calls to resign amid claims that a photo of him "holding a can of beer" at his birthday bash have been handed over to the Met.According to the Mirror, sources have claimed that Mr Johnson appeared to be raising a can of beer towards the camera in a toast while stood alongside Chancellor Rishi Sunak who had a soft drink.
However, at the time, the first lockdown had been imposed and strict rules against indoor gatherings were implemented. When previously discussing the Met investigation, a No10 spokesperson said: "It is right the Met should be now given the time and space to undertake their investigations. "The Prime Minister accepted the resignation of Allegra Stratton for joking about a Christmas party that she hadn't attended, but he won't take responsibility for those that he did attend," he said.
The Prime Minister wrote to them on Friday insisting he was committed to change after five advisers resigned from Downing Street within 24 hours. Addressed "Dear colleague", Mr Johnson said in the letter he was "committed to improving the way 10 Downing Street, and Government more broadly works", promising further updates in the coming days.
