Sir Keir has repeatedly demanded Boris Johnson quit for attending an impromptu birthday gathering in the Cabinet Room in June 2020 – just three months before his own celebration.
The PM and Chancellor were hit with fines for breaking lockdown laws that banned indoor gatherings at that time. However, it has now emerged that Sir Keir was given a birthday card and two cakes in his office on his birthday in September 2020.

The rules were different in September. That was the summer and the lockdown ended in July. The law didn't state you couldn't be indoors which is why the Mail is trying to blur the lines by referring to the 'advice'.
