BREAKING NEWS IN UK !!! The five scandals swirling around Boris Johnson after a tumultuous spell in British politics Steven Dec 12, 2021·4 min read

Boris Johnson must be sick of the sound of sleigh bells by now.

Last year, when the British Prime Minister U-turned at the 11th hour and banned Christmas gatherings for millions of people, many of Westminster’s pundits wondered whether he could ever claw back public trust.

But his current festive nightmare makes last year seem like a ball; because, in Downing Street if nowhere else in pandemic-hit Britain, it apparently was just that.

Johnson’s premiership has sunk to its deepest crisis yet, most analysts agree, after reports emerged that parties were held at his official residence, in other government buildings, and at the Conservative Party’s headquarters at the end of 2020, all while the rest of the country was living under severe Covid-19 restrictions. Johnson and other top Conservatives have denied any rules were broken.

Those reports pitched the government into a scandal that seemed to multiply by the hour — and it’s not the only fire Johnson was struggling to extinguish.

Johnson is also under attack over how he paid for renovations to his official flat. He has been forced to deny he fast-tracked Covid rules on Wednesday in order to distract from his political woes. In tandem, he’s faced scrutiny over allegedly prioritizing the evacuation of animals from a shelter over people, which he has also denied.

And after losing his lead in the opinion polls to the opposition Labour party, Johnson now faces calls to resign from opposition MPs, as well as mounting anger from within his own party — despite his landslide victory in a general election just under two years ago.

Johnson unveiled new Covid measures on Wednesday, but had to deny he was doing so as a distraction from other scandals.

His December is beginning to resemble an advent calendar full of bad headlines, with each day bringing another accusation, or a fresh broadside from his growing club of political critics — even from the newspaper that Johnson used to write for.

Christmas parties in Downing Street

Johnson’s painful December began when the Daily Mirror broke a story about a Christmas party held in Downing Street in 2020. At the time, indoor gatherings were banned in Britain; the day after the party was allegedly held, Johnson announced even stricter restrictions for Christmas, banning millions from visiting their families, and telling the public: “It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you we cannot continue with Christmas as planned.”

For a week, Downing Street stuck resolutely to its line: “There was no Christmas party and coronavirus rules had been followed at all times.”

But CNN has established that social gatherings were indeed held on two of the days in question — December 18 and also November 27 — and has confirmed a Daily Mirror report that Johnson himself gave an impromptu speech at the November event. Sources also confirmed reports that secret Santa gifts were exchanged on December 18.

“To us, Downing Street was an island where we had to work and lockdown wasn’t happening in the same way it was for the rest of the country,” a current №10 official told CNN earlier this week.

A bombshell video of government adviser Allegra Stratton laughing about the December party while practicing a press conference with other staff infuriated the nation, and led the former journalist to resign on Wednesday. Johnson apologized, claiming he too was “furious” to see the video. He said that if rules were broken “there will be disciplinary action for all those involved,” and announced an investigation by the Cabinet Secretary.

But it hasn’t stopped the political bleeding. A majority (54%) of British adults questioned in a snap poll for Savanta ComRes on Wednesday after the allegations came to light said Johnson should resign.
