Boris Johnson has 'duty to be honest' about party, says Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross
On Monday, ITV published a leaked email from the prime minister's principal private secretary, Martin Reynolds, inviting 100 staff to "socially distanced drinks in the No 10 garden" on 20 May 2020.
Witnesses told the BBC that Mr Johnson and his wife had been among about 30 people who attended the gathering. He said: "These are rules that he himself put in place. His government urged and indeed demanded the public followed them - we have seen people punished for not following that guidance. Mr Ross's comments came shortly after Nicola Sturgeon told MSPs that "people across the country are aghast about the revelations about Downing Street's conduct".
