'FAILURES of leadership and judgement' by the Government for Covid breaches included the Prime Minister’s birthday party and a gathering in his Downing Street flat.
The Prime Minister apologised on Monday and insisted “I get it and I will fix it” as he faced fresh calls to resign after Sue Gray’s report.

We've taken a look at the number of people who died in the Berkshire area on the days the parties took place.
147 people died in Berkshire on the dates mentioned in the Gray report update.
