U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing intense pressure to quit after admitting that he did attend a drinks party in the Downing Street garden during the country’s lockdown

Johnson apologised for how he handled the event and says he appreciates why so many people are enraged over the scandal.

Cabinet members have stood by their leader, including Deputy PM Dominic Raab but Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross and senior backbencher William Wragg are two of many calling for him to stand down immediately.

In his apology, Johnson admitted he was at the May 2020 gathering for about 25 minutes using the event to “thank groups of staff” for their hard work.

The Prime Minister’s statement was met with a mixed reaction from the Tories… with some saying he did sound genuine.

But across the floor, Opposition Leader, Kier Starmer says the PM’s defence is “so ridiculous that it’s actually offensive to the British public”.

In the wake of the apology, Ministers are urging fellow MPs to wait for the outcome of an investigation into the alleged parties by senior civil servant Sue Gray.

It’s expected Gray’s findings will be published shortly.
