Boris Johnson says he regrets apologising over 'Partygate' lockdown breaking
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he regrets apologising for the so-called Partygate scandal over lockdown-era gatherings in Downing Street. Mr Johnson, who is promoting his memoirs, used an ITV interview to say that his apology had “inadvertently validated the entire corpus” as accusations were also levelled at officials who were “working very hard”.
