Britain’s Boris Johnson apologizes for lockdown gathering at his residence, while maintaining it was work-related

LONDON — Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he regretted the May 2020 event and understood why “millions and millions of people” would be angered by it.

During the stormy Parliament session, the opposition described him as “without shame," but he dismissed calls for his resignation.

Press reports described a “bring your own booze” event taking place in the 10 Downing Street garden during the heart of the country’s coronavirus pandemic lockdown.
