Backlash grows as Boris Johnson accused of hypocrisy over mass BBQ at G7 summit

Boris Johnson is facing a growing backlash after a crowded barbecue at the G7 summit in Cornwall appeared to breach England's social distancing rules.

Photos emerged on Sunday showing more than 30 guests at the event in Carbis Bay, with only the staff wearing face masks.

Downing Street insisted that there were fewer than 30 guests while foreign secretary Dominic Raab said the government had “gone well above and beyond” to make sure the event was Covid-secure.

But more than 30 people can be counted in media footage of the event, including wait staff and security staff.

It comes as the government prepared to announce a delay in the planned lifting of remaining lockdown restrictions in England on Monday.

Labour leader Keir Starmer criticised the government over the barbecue, saying that the optics “really didn’t look good”.

He told LBC Radio on Monday: “Tonight we’re going to hear from the prime minister probably saying 'alas' – that word which always means he’s about to tell us that his plan didn’t work and that we are probably in for another four weeks of restrictions."

He added: “I think the optics of [the barbeque] just a few days before were not good," and said: "A lot of people will be pretty frustrated I think, having seen that and then hearing what we’re going to hear tonight.”

The Labour leader said people will weddings planned in the next few weeks would be nervously watching the Downing Street press conference on Monday to find out if the event can go ahead as planned.


“In the heart of those people, they would have looked at that and thought 'that’s one rule for them and another for me' and that’s just not on,” Starmer said.

Johnson is expected to use the press conference on Monday to delay his plan to scrap the six-person limit on indoor gatherings.

Weddings can currently go ahead with a limit of 30 people – and it's thought that cap might still be lifted from 21 June, one of the few changes to still go ahead as planned.

Asked about the barbecue, Boris Johnson's spokesman said: "The event last night was done in an entirely COVID-secure way within the existing rules.

"This was an informal gathering of the G7 leaders and rightly it is held in private ... but you can see it was a relaxed atmosphere and gave the leaders a chance to discuss outside of a formal setting."

Those attending the summit had a daily testing regime and the event was held outside.

On Sunday, Sky News’ Trevor Phillips told Dominic Raab: “People will be reasonably saying that you’re not allowing me to gather with my friends and family at a wedding and a funeral but look at what you guys are doing.”

But Raab replied: “In fairness, there have always been different principles for social entertainment or weddings than for government business.

“Those rules have been the same all along."

 

Yet another scumbag 'nasty party' member being totally hypocritical !!!

I wonder how many more we can find before the next election ???


Matt Hancock accused of affair with adviser to his department

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been accused of having an affair with an adviser to his department.

The Sun published pictures of the married Cabinet minister appearing to kiss Gina Coladangelo, who the newspaper said was hired by Mr Hancock last year.

The images, which appear to be captured from CCTV footage, were taken on May 6 from the headquarters of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the newspaper adds.

It said the minister hired Ms Coladangelo as an unpaid adviser on a six-month contract in March last year, before appointing her as a non-executive director at the department.

Mr Hancock, who is said to have met Ms Coladangelo at university, has been married to his wife Martha for 15 years and they have three children together.

Ms Coladangelo is the marketing and communications director at Oliver Bonas, a British retailer founded by her husband Oliver Tress.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said on Friday morning that he would not be commenting on the “entirely personal” matter following the reports about his Cabinet colleague.

When asked if the Health Secretary had been ignoring social distancing rules when the images were taken, Mr Shapps told LBC he is “quite sure that whatever the rules were at the time were followed”.

However, the Government’s road map out of lockdown said people should continue to keep their distance from anyone not in their household or support bubble until May 17.

Asked about the rules around appointing friends to Government positions, Mr Shapps told Sky News: “First of all, I think the actual issue is entirely personal for Matt Hancock.

“In terms of rules, anyone who has been appointed has to go through an incredibly rigorous process in Government, so whatever the rules are, the rules will have to be followed.

“There are no short cuts to that, as anyone who has had anything to do with the appointments system in the Civil Service knows.

“There are very strict rules in place.”

Labour said the Government needs to answer whether the Health Secretary had broken any rules or there had been “conflicts of interest” in the appointment of his closest adviser.

An Opposition party spokesman said: “Ministers, like everyone, are entitled to a private life.
“However, when taxpayers’ money is involved or jobs are being offered to close friends who are in a personal relationship with a minister, then that needs to be looked into.

“The Government needs to be open and transparent about whether there are any conflicts of interests or rules that have been broken.”

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said on Twitter: “The reason Matt Hancock should resign is that he is a terrible Health Secretary, not because of his private life.

“From the PPE scandal, the crisis in our care service and the unbelievably poor test and trace system, he has utterly failed.”

Mr Hancock was not at his north London home on Friday morning, while the PA news agency has contacted the DHSC for comment.
