Reports of more lockdown parties at No. 10, pressure mounts on Boris Johnson

Even before UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's apology for holding a gathering of around 100 people at 10 Downing Street during peak lockdown in May 2020 could register with the people, reports have emerged of another lockdown party at his official residence.

British daily 'The Telegraph' has reported that the staff at 10 Downing Street held two parties on April 16, 2021 --- the eve of the funeral of Prince Philip, the Queen's husband.

Covid-19 restrictions imposed in the UK at that point of time prohibited indoor gatherings.

'The Telegraph' reported that one party held on April 16, 2021 was a farewell party for PM's then director of communications James Slack and the second one was for one of his personal photographers.

PM Boris Johnson however did not attend any of those parties, according to the report.
