In the “Partygate” affair, the opposition accuses British Prime Minister Boris Johnson of blaming others for breaking the rules. “His full responsibility is that he has delegated responsibility to lower-ranking personnel who have been fined and blamed for what happened under his government and under his leadership,” Labor politician Lisa Nandy said on Thursday.
“He doesn’t regret doing it, he regrets getting caught,” Nandy told the BBC. Johnson had announced the day before that he would take full responsibility for the closing celebrations at the government seat. At the same time, he distanced himself from the incidents. The “work meetings” he viewed as events only got out of hand after he left.
An investigation report found that large amounts of alcohol were consumed at the parties. Senior officials had planned and covered the meetings. The report’s author, top official Sue Gray, accuses the top government of serious misconduct and failing leadership.
people feel “humiliated”
Across the country, Nandy said, Nandy was “deeply humiliated” by people following coronavirus rules unable to say goodbye to dying relatives. The trust is gone. “Trust is the glue that holds the political system together, and when that trust is gone, the whole system collapses,” the politician said.
That is why the consequences are so devastating to most people in the country.
Government officials defended Johnson. Several senior politicians from Johnson’s Conservative Party insisted that he had apologized and that was the end of the matter. Now you have to look ahead.
