Photos show the prime minister with a glass in his hand and multiple bottles of wine on a table with several other people as they appear to be toasting a colleague. The government is awaiting a report into lockdown parties.
Senior Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat said the photos shows a lack of"seriousness" at the top of government in its attitude towards the pandemic.
"We know that teachers were turning up to work and making sure that people could get kids education when they were essential workers."And I'm afraid this doesn't show the level of seriousness that we really need in government."Veteran Tory MP Sir Roger Gale said it was"absolutely clear that there was a party" and that the PM was there.
"There is now photographic evidence that when the prime minister stood up in parliament and was asked directly was there a party in No 10 on this date and he replied 'no', he lied to Parliament," she told Channel 4 News. And current Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross demanded an explanation of why the PM thinks his behaviour was"acceptable" when most will think the pictures"seem unjustifiable and wrong".
