Conservative Party's Lockdown Partygate Scandal Deepens with New Footage and Apologies.

UK minister Michael Gove has apologized for a video showing a party at the Conservative Party's headquarters during a COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, which was published by the Mirror newspaper. The video shows revellers partying in December 2020 when the British public in London were banned from socialising indoors to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The issue of rule-breaking during COVID lockdowns helped bring down former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who left office last year, and still hangs over the Conservatives and current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Lawmakers will vote on Monday on whether to endorse the privileges committee's report on Johnson's rule-breaking lockdown parties.
