What is ‘Party Gate Scandal of United Kingdom’ ?
It is

Explanation

The Partygate scandal refers to a series of social gatherings held at 10 Downing Street (the British Prime Minister's office) and other government buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. These events took place while the United Kingdom was under strict public health restrictions (lockdowns) that legally prohibited such gatherings. An internal investigation by senior civil servant Sue Gray and a police inquiry by the Metropolitan Police (Operation Hillman) concluded that several events breached lockdown rules. This resulted in 126 fines being issued, including to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife Carrie Johnson, and then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak. The scandal caused significant political controversy, leading to accusations of hypocrisy and a lack of integrity, which ultimately played a major role in the events leading to Boris Johnson's resignation in 2022.
