evidence: A photo from May 2020 showed the prime minister and his staff with bottles of wine and a cheeseboard in the Downing Street garden. When asked about it, Boris Johnson said "those people were at work talking about work". [...] However, a video obtained by ITV News showed the prime minister's then press secretary Allegra Stratton joking about reports of the event, saying: "This fictional party was a business meeting and it was not socially distanced." [...] One of the events was a leaving party for the PM's then director of communications James Slack, who apologised for the event and acknowledged it "should not have happened at the time that it did".
