The allegations that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his staff were involved in office parties while the rest of the UK population were expected to abide by strict lockdown provisions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have become a significant problem for Johnson and the Conservative Party. Unfortunately, the anticipated Gray Report, which should clearly show the culpability of those involved in these parties, has yet to be released when recording this podcast. The importance of this report is that it might trigger the resignation of Johnson as British PM. To discuss this, John speaks with Emeritus Professor Paul Whiteley from the Department of Government, University of Essex.
