British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has rejected renewed calls for him to resign after the police confirmed there were violations of lockdown rules in the centre of the UK government during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Johnson has been plagued by a series of damaging allegations of parties and other gatherings held in his official residence at Number 10 Downing Street and other government departments in Whitehall at the height of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, in violation of lockdown rules written by the government.
