Boris Johnson had birthday bash during lockdown, ITV News understands [View all]
ITV News understands Boris Johnson had a birthday party during the first lockdown in 2020 despite the rules forbidding social gatherings indoors at the time.
It's alleged that the prime minister's wife, Carrie Johnson, helped organise a surprise get-together for him on the afternoon of 19 June just after 2pm.
Up to 30 people are said to have attended the event in the Cabinet Room after Boris Johnson returned from an official visit to a school in Hertfordshire.
...
ITV News also understands that on the evening of 19 June 2020, family friends were hosted upstairs in the prime minister’s residence in an apparent further breach of the rules. Number 10 have denied this, claiming the prime minister only hosted a small number of family members outside.

Who all trooped in past the police officers on the doors (but, I suspect, not the front door, because there still may have been media cameras there). I'd like a charge of "corrupting the police" or similar, whatever they did to get the police to ignore this.
