Sue Gray's report has said the 'senior leadership' in Boris Johnson’s Government must 'bear responsibility' for actions

GB News presenter, Nigel Farage expressed outrage at the government following the release of the Sue Gray report.

In a tweet, Mr Farage said: "The Sue Gray report tells me that there is no accountability left in public life in this country.


"The PM will continue in office and the party will hit the rocks at the next election".

An official inquiry into the partygate scandal has said the “senior leadership” in Boris Johnson’s Government must “bear responsibility” for the culture which led to coronavirus lockdown rules being broken.

The report by Sue Gray said the public would be “dismayed” by a series of breaches of coronavirus rules in No 10 and Westminster.

The Metropolitan Police has issued 126 fines for rule breaches in No 10 and Whitehall, with the Prime Minister receiving a single fixed-penalty notice for his birthday party.

Mr Johnson will apologise to MPs in a Commons statement later.

The Prime Minister has said he takes “full responsibility for everything that took place on my watch”.

Making a statement in the House of Commons on the Sue Gray report, Boris Johnson said: “I want to begin today by renewing my apology to the House, to the whole country, for the short lunchtime gathering on June 19, 2020 in the Cabinet Room, during which I stood at my place at the Cabinet table and for which I received a fixed penalty notice.

“I also want to say above all that I take full responsibility for everything that took place on my watch. Sue Gray’s report has emphasised that it is up to the political leadership in Number 10 to take ultimate responsibility and, of course, I do.”
