Government officials in the UK have come down from surveys to closed parties

The head of the Whitehall, a bureau for investigating reports of state-run Christmas parties, which closed last year, has resigned from a post-celebrity rally held in his secret office.

Downing Street said Friday: “To ensure that the inquiry maintains public confidence, the secretary-general has resigned from the rest of the work.”

An earlier inquiry by Oliver Dowden, chairman of the Conservative Party, said on Friday it was confident that the investigation would “confirm” Johnson’s claim that no laws had been violated.

Angela Rayner, vice president of Labor, said Johnson had “set a precedent” for public and private sector services if coronavirus regulations were to be followed. “With each new revelation there is ample evidence of a culture of lawlessness,” he added.

“Labor made it very clear when the investigation was launched that the person in charge should be immovable and able to make a fair and independent decision. These new revelations doubt this,” Rayner said.
