Ministers must take responsibility for the No10 party rather than trying to blame civil servants

Mike Clancy, General Secretary of Prospect, responding to the party at Number 10 story, said:

“Government ministers must take responsibility for the events in Downing Street a year ago, they should not attempt to throw civil servants under the bus in an attempt to divert attention.

“The public expect real leadership to take responsibility and close this matter down. Only this will allow everyone to focus on keeping safe and limiting the spread of the virus”
