‘They’re corrupt’ – Partygate protestor storms reporter’s live cross

The British are not pleased with their Prime Ministers’ past conduct during the pandemic

The United Kingdom government has withdrawn its opposition to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he faces an inquiry over his behaviour in Downing Street during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Johnson will face an inquiry over whether he misled members of parliament over the partygate scandal.

An investigation has been launched to determine if Johnson lied to the UK parliament about breaking lockdown rules.

Johnson previously denied these allegations and says he did not attend illegal gatherings.

During a Ticker News live broadcast in London, well known British protestor Steve Bray said that Boris Johnson is a liar and his party is corrupt.

“[They] lie to us, cheat us, steal from us and … this government is the worst the United Kingdom has ever had,” he told Ticker News.

“On the night that Phillip died, the husband of our Queen, they were partying. This is not right.”

This week, a national survey found that around two-thirds of the public spoke negatively about Johnson in comparison to just 19 percent positively.
