British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has apologized for breaking his own Covid-19 restrictions, but claimed he didn't know the 2020 birthday gathering thrown in his honor was an illegal party
Johnson offered members of Parliament what he called a"whole-hearted apology" on Tuesday, as he attempted to stem the rule-dodging scandal that has derailed his premiership.But he added it"did not occur to me then or subsequently" that the gathering"could amount to a breach of the rules.
However, at least one senior Conservative MP -- Mark Harper -- joined calls for Johnson to resign. "I regret to say that we have a Prime Minister who broke the laws that he told the country they had to follow, hasn't been straightforward about it," said Harper, the former whip."I'm very sorry to have to say this, but I no longer think he is worthy of the great office that he holds.
