Inquiry into government gatherings widened to include former aide’s allegation and photographed cheese-and-wine get-together
Dominic Cummings has alleged there was a lockdown-breaking party in the Downing Street garden five days after Boris Johnson and up to 17 staff were pictured with wine and cheese.
The prime minister’s former top adviser said people were invited to “socially distanced drinks” on 20 May 2020 by a senior Downing Street official. Cummings claimed he warned at the time this appeared to be against the rules but it went ahead regardless.
