Man with no shame

Even Tories call on PM to quit over boozy party. His weak apology but uses 'work event excuse

BORIS Johnson was under fire from all sides last night after his half-hearted apology over the No10 lockdown party was met with widespread derision.

Tory MPs joined Labour and grieving relatives in demanding the PM quit, leaving him battling for his political career.

Johnson finally admitted he had been at the “bring your own booze” bash in the garden of Downing St, on May 20, 2020, when such gatherings were banned under Covid rules.

But the shameless leader claimed he initially thought the event was a work gathering and he again tried to hide behind the probe by Whitehall enforcer Sue Gray, insisting MPs should wait for the outcome of that before any decision on his future is made.

Labour leader Keir Starmer tore into Johnson's excuses. He said: "After months of deceit and deception, the pathetic spectacle of a man who has run out of road.

"His defence... that he didn't realise he was at a party is so ridiculous that it's actually offensive to the British public.
