Based on Indy 100, the video relates to the recent Partygate scandal, which saw Mr Johnson become the first sitting Prime Minister to be found in breach of the law. The Metropolitan Police investigated 12 different law-breaking parties organized in Downing Street and Whitehall during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
