Best memes and reactions to Boris Johnson’s Downing St party pics

"Can we stop calling it #Partygate now? LyingBastardGate seems nearer the mark," tweeted Count Binface.

Boris Johnson is facing fresh accusations he lied to Parliament after photographs emerged of him raising a glass at a Downing Street leaving party during lockdown.

The images – obtained by ITV News – were taken at a do for departing communications chief Lee Cain on 13 November 2020, just days after Mr Johnson had ordered a second national lockdown in England.

Asked last December in the Commons whether there had been a party in No 10 on that date, the Prime Minister said “no” and added he was sure the rules were followed at all times.

Lied

Labour said there was now “no doubt” that Mr Johnson had “lied” to MPs.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police is facing questions as to why Mr Johnson was not fined in relation to the event when photographs showed him, drink in hand, alongside a table strewn with food and wine bottles.

There were at least eight other people in the room at a time when people were banned from social mixing, other than to meet one person outside, and at least one individual has received a fixed penalty notice in relation to an event on that date.

Reactions

As you can imagine there was a LOT of chatter about it on social media:

Even if it's only 10 minutes, it still counts. 😉

Seriously though. In 2020 the government advice was that 90 seconds at a distance of 1 metre was enough to catch Covid.

Now they're defending Boris Johnson by saying he was only there for 10 minutes.

He was, in a sense, ambushed by six bottles of wine.

Boris Johnson has shamelessly and repeatedly claimed he was not aware of any lockdown rule breaking in Downing Street

The photographs obtained by @itvnews confirm what we have known all along – that was complete bollocks pic.twitter.com/0iUtZNhKL7

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
