Another day, another leaving party. With their Boozeter jabs, Johnson and chums seem to have developed immunity to Coronavirus legislation.

The Mirror can reveal that the Prime Minister attended a leaving do for his defence adviser Captain Steve Higham in the run-up to Christmas 2020 and gave a speech
As the heat grows on Boris Johnson over a string of No10 lockdown parties the cowardly PM looks set to shift the blame away from himself in a desperate bid to save his own skin.
Rather than accept any responsibility for the scandal engulfing Downing Street, he is instead likely to throw a bunch of civil service flunkies under the bus, who could now face the axe.
But it comes as the Mirror can reveal Mr Johnson attended a leaving do for his defence adviser in the run-up to Christmas 2020 and gave a speech.
And fresh doubts were raised on the PM’s claim he did not know in advance about the No10 garden bash on May 20 of that year after Sunday Times columnist Dominic Lawson claimed at least two people had warned him the email invite to staff made it clear it was a party and it should have been stopped.
If true, it blows his half-hearted apology for *Partygate last week out of the water and means he faces claims he breached the ministerial code by misleading the Commons.
To add further pressure on Mr Johnson, his wife Carrie was photographed breaking Covid social distancing rules in September 2020.
