The Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Jane Dodds has said photos of Boris Johnson, obtained by ITV News, obliterate the Prime Minister’s claims that he was unaware of rule-breaking in Downing Street during the pandemic.

 

The four images show the Prime Minister raising a glass at a leaving party on 13th November 2020, with bottles of alcohol and party food on the table in front of him.

Commenting on the publication of a series of photographs of a party in Downing Street in which the Prime Minister can be seen raising a toast, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said: “These photographs obliterate the Prime Minister’s claims that he did not know of any rule-breaking during lockdown and that the rules were followed at all times. While the public made huge sacrifices, he partied in Number 10.

“The public are not stupid. They understood perfectly well that the Prime Minister was lying to them. The only people who fell for it were Conservative parliamentarians.

“This is a key moment for Andrew RT Davies and Welsh Conservative MPs. They should condemn the lawbreaking and lies of a Prime Minister who is only out for himself. Conservative MPs should be submitting their letters of no confidence if they don’t want to do a serious disservice to their constituents.

“It’s high past the time that Welsh Conservatives stop putting the interests of their Party ahead of the country. Everyday Boris Johnson remains in office will do more damage to public trust and to our democracy.”
