Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has defended his actions during the Partygate scandal, stating that officials did not intend to break lockdown rules.
In a recent interview, Johnson also denied claims that he was distracted by writing a Shakespeare book as the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded. He expressed regret over issuing what he called 'pathetic' apologies to the Queen regarding a party held on the eve of Prince Philip's funeral.
Johnson's memoir, 'Unleashed,' sheds light on his perspective of the events that led to his resignation and his life post-politics.
