‘Terrible’: UK minister sorry for lockdown-breaking part

Senior British government minister Michael Gove on Sunday described a video showing a party at the ruling Conservative Party campaign headquarters during a COVID lockdown in 2020 as “terrible”, and apologised to the public.
The video was published by the Mirror newspaper just days after a parliamentary committee ruled that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson had wilfully misled lawmakers about rule-breaking lockdown parties at his office.
The 45-second clip shows revellers partying in December 2020 when the British public were banned from socialising indoors to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
People can be seen dancing and drinking in the video. Two of those at the gathering, which had previously been investigated by police when a still photo of it emerged, were given honours by Johnson in his resignation list earlier this month.
