Covid-19 Bereaved Families Call for Apology from Boris Johnson over Rule-Breaking During Pandemic

The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK have called on Boris Johnson to apologize to the nation for breaking rules during the pandemic, which resulted in families losing loved ones while he was having a party.

The report by MPs found that Johnson deliberately misled the Commons over lockdown parties at Downing Street.

Leshie Chandrapala, who lost her father to Covid, said Johnson should take responsibility and show remorse.

David Garfinkel, a spokesman for the group, said Johnson had shown no remorse and should never be allowed to stand for public office again.

Liz, who lost her father to Covid, said the report had restored her faith in Parliament.

Former cabinet minister Sir Simon Clarke has rallied around Johnson, saying he believes him.

The political fallout from the UK Parliament's report on Prime Minister Boris Johnson's violation of the MPs' code of conduct continues, with different reactions from politicians.

Nadine Dorries said the report had "overreached", while Education Secretary Gillian Keegan defended Johnson's decision to resign.

Senior Tory MP Tobias Ellwood hopes the report will allow MPs to move on from the situation.

Labour's Angela Rayner called for Johnson to apologize to the public, while former attorney-general Dominic Grieve said the committee had no bias against Johnson.

The report found that Johnson had committed contempt by failing to comply with a legal request for documents related to his use of public funds for private purposes.

Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf criticized Johnson for breaking the rules while partying at Number 10.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said Johnson had treated the public with disdain.
