Partygate

Partygate refers to a series of events in the UK where government officials and advisors held social gatherings during COVID-19 lockdowns, when such activities were restricted to prevent virus spread. These parties, including some attended by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his team, violated the rules they publicly promoted. The scandal led to widespread criticism, apologies, and investigations into breaches of public trust and government conduct. It highlighted issues of accountability and adherence to pandemic regulations, significantly impacting public confidence in political leadership.
