On August 5, local time, Tahir Malik, the mayor of Luton, UK, took the blame and resigned for violating the ban on attending parties during the epidemic.

  Tahir Malik, a Labour MP, said that he regretted attending the party during the epidemic and apologized again for pulling the mask to his jaw when he took a group photo at the event last month. He also claimed that his actions were irresponsible and had a wrong influence on the public.

  Members of the Labour Party said that he initially planned to wait for the outcome of the relevant disciplinary procedures, but after discussing the matter with his family, Tahir Malik decided to resign. (Headquarters reporter Bai Hua)
