Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner has urged Boris Johnson to “tell us the truth” about gatherings at Downing Street as a photo emerged of the British Prime Minister and staff gathering in the No 10 Downing Street garden reportedly during the first national lockdown.

The Guardian and The Independent previously reported that Mr Johnson was present for 15 minutes at the gathering following a Covid press conference on May 15, 2020.
