Social pressure forces him to cancel the event, which was to be held on July 30 at the mansion assigned to the head of government
Rocky to the end. After resigning as head of the Conservative Party, Boris Johnson returned to the limelight yesterday for his eccentricities. He was forced to give up the organization of the wedding party to celebrate his wedding to Carrie Symonds, which took place a year ago. The ‘Daily Mirror’ newspaper revealed that the pair planned to celebrate the event on July 30 at Checkers, the official country residence of the British ‘Prime Minister’. According to the newspaper, this social event was precisely one of his reasons for staying on Downing Street as long as possible.
Johnson announced his resignation as Tories leader on Thursday, but will remain as interim prime minister until Conservatives choose his replacement. His intention is to stay active until September – October even – so until then he will retain all the privileges of the position, including access to any official dependencies.
After learning about the plans of the wedding, the outrage spread. The opposition as a whole sued the president for entrenching himself in power “at all costs” in order to continue to enjoy the benefits. The ‘number two’ of the Labor Party, Angela Rayner, said it without hesitation. “Johnson wants to wait for a party at Checkers to celebrate his recent marriage.” Downing Street’s response was swift. Government sources told the BBC that “nothing was 100 percent signed” and that the party will at least take place in a different setting. Private, you see.
This latest episode has, if possible, become more relevant because of its unavoidable link to the ‘party gate’ scandal, the drinking bouts that cabinet members held at the Prime Minister’s residence during the pandemic, violating the health restrictions on the population by the executive branch itself. That, when it came out, didn’t knock Johnson down. But without a doubt, it laid the groundwork for his end.
