The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is once again facing questions about a social event for Downing Street staff which took place while the country was in a strict lockdown in May 2020.

As many as 100 people were invited to a "bring-your-own-booze" event in the Downing Street garden.

Witnesses say Mr Johnson and his wife were among about 30 people who attended the gathering.
