LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a birthday party during the first COVID-19 lockdown in June 2020 when social gatherings indoors were banned, ITV News reported on Monday. Johnson’s office was quoted by ITV as saying in response: “A group of staff working in No 10 that day gathered briefly in the Cabinet Room after a meeting to wish the Prime Minister a happy birthday. He was there for less than ten minutes.” (Reporting by Paul Sandle; Editing by Chris Reese)
