Johnson hid in a refrigerator for fear of journalists, and considered “Covid-19” a blessing

Boris Johnson illegally adjourned Parliament.

À a.b

Last Tuesday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson completed 1,000 days in office, during which time he was subjected to a series of scandals, and faced sharp turns, during which he did not even hesitate to violate the regulations.

The following are some of the most prominent scandals and twists and turns that befell him during this period:

humiliating legal ruling

In August 2019, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Johnson's decision to adjourn Parliament in the midst of the Brexit crisis was illegal.

Chief Justice Lady Hill said the move was "illegal, void, and ineffective."

Johnson in a refrigerator

On September 11, 2019, Johnson hid inside a refrigerator in Podsey, West Yorkshire, to avoid an interview with ITV's Piers Morgan on election eve.

He also declined to be interviewed by the BBC's Andrew Neal before the election.

Grace

Johnson has been sticking with lockdown measures and appears unconcerned about the deaths of people in their 80s, according to WhatsApp messages from his former aide Dominic Cummings.

And in October 2020, Cummings conveyed a message about the prime minister as saying: “I must say that I was slightly shocked by some of the data regarding (Covid-19) deaths, and I think the average life is 81-82 for men, and 85 for women is above life expectancy, so there is no danger of the epidemic, and let's live longer."

Even after Cummings left 10 Downing Street, Johnson allegedly resisted his advice and refused to impose a second lockdown, saying "no more damned lockdowns - let the bodies pile up by the thousands".

Despite multiple sources confirming this, 10 Downing Street denied that Johnson uttered these words.

defies the rules

On 20 November 2020, the Ethics Adviser, Sir Alex Allen, resigned after the Prime Minister tore up the rule book by refusing to fire the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, despite an official investigation finding evidence that she had bullied civil servants.

Animal rescue priority

In August 2021, Johnson ordered the animals to be evacuated from Kabul, after the Taliban took control of it, under fire for giving priority to animals over humans.

Johnson denied having anything to do with the decision.

Josie Stewart, who worked at the State Department for seven years, noted that the department's top civil servants lied to cover up the embarrassing incident.

mislead officials

On December 9, 2021, Johnson faced accusations that he misled his second moral advisor, Lord Gedet, about the source of funding for the Downing Street apartment renovation.

The Election Commission fined the Conservative Party 17,800 pounds.

Gedet appears to have given different accounts to those investigating the redecorating.

The first British Prime Minister to be criminally punished

On 2 April 2022, Johnson became the first sitting Prime Minister to be criminally punished when he was advised to pay a fine of £50 for breaching Covid laws after attending his birthday party at 10 Downing Street, Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, and Johnson's wife, Carrie Johnson, were also fined. .
