Northern Ireland Minister Conor Burns has defended Boris Johnson over his Downing Street birthday gathering during the 2020 Covid lockdown, claiming the prime minister was "ambushed with cake". <br /> <br />"They came to his office with a cake, they sang happy birthday, he was there for ten minutes. I don't think most people looking at that at home would characterise that as a party," he said. Report by Buseld.
