Boris Johnson apologized after a video emerged showing key aides joking about a Downing Street Christmas party in possible breach of Covid-19 rules last year -- just as his government readies more restrictions. Amid a growing public outcry, the Labour Party accused the prime minister of taking people for fools over last year’s reported event, which the government has repeatedly refused to confirm while also saying no rules were broken.
