The partygate report - Chris Mason on how the day unfolded
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Political Editor on a fast moving day at Westminster - as a report sets out details of rule-breaking parties in and around Downing Street during the pandemic.
The final report on parties at Downing Street and Whitehall during lockdown has been published - with senior leaders rebuked for setting a poor example to junior staff by allowing illegal gatherings to go ahead unchecked. Instances of people vomiting, fighting and being rude to cleaners and security guards have been revealed. Boris Johnson told the Commons his behaviour was unacceptable and he took full responsibility for what happened on his watch. But he's been condemned by opposition parties - the Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer said the Prime Minister should pack his bags. It's been a quite day - particularly for Chris Mason - the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's new Political Editor. Here's his 5 Minutes on the partygate report - how the day unfolded.
