UK PM sorry for ‘partygate’ as report slams leadership failures

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has apologised after a report found alcohol-fuelled parties at his offices and residence while COVID-19 lockdown rules were in force should never have taken place. The report into the lockdown-breaching parties at his offices criticised “failures of leadership and judgment” at the heart of the British government. The document was submitted to Downing Street on Monday by senior civil servant Sue Gray, who investigated a series of revelations about boozy get-togethers held while the government told the public to remain socially distanced.
