The UK has one of the highest death tolls from Coronavirus in the entire world, which has seen the British people live through some of the harshest and longest lockdowns over the past two years.

Despite the many restrictions, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his colleagues have been outed for having allegedly dozens of illegal parties while members of the public, and even the Queen suffered and remained isolated as their family members died.

The Quicky looks into just how many social gatherings happened at 10 Downing Street since 2020, and speaks to an expert in British politics to find out whether Mr Johnson will survive the findings of both an internal and police inquiry into the boozy events.
