A "HUMBLED" Boris Johnson has vowed to get on with tackling the big issues facing Britain after avoiding much of the criticism in the Partygate report.
The findings by top civil servant Sue Gray, published yesterday after months of speculation, failed to contain any explosive new disclosures about the PM's behaviour - and even credited him with implementing reforms to tackle the boozy culture at No 10.
Newly-released photos show the Prime Minister raising a can of drink in the Cabinet Office on his 56th birthday with a few staff.
Mr Johnson was fined £50 for attending the Downing Street celebration in June 2020, at which Rishi Sunak and senior civil servant Simon Case were also present.
Packets of sandwiches, jugs of orange and apple juice plus a few cans of beer are on view.
After Ms Gray's long-awaited report was published, Mr Johnson declared his Government will "move on" from the row, accepting that he has "learned a lesson".
The PM said he was "humbled", and apologised to MPs and to the country for the Covid lockdown breaches and for his leadership.
Mr Johnson continued: "I overwhelmingly feel it is my job to get on and deliver.
"No matter how bitter and painful that the conclusions of this may be - and they are - and no matter how humbling they are, I have got to keep moving forward and the Government has got to keep moving. And we are. We will get on and continue to do the tough things."
Last night he vowed to focus on the public instead of spending "a second longer" on Partygate.
Opposition leaders repeated their calls for the PM to quit.
