Gatherings by government and Conservative Party officials when restrictions were in place during the coronavirus pandemic became known as the Partygate scandal. Police investigated a number of events that took place at No 10, its garden and other official buildings during multiple lockdowns.

Johnson announced his resignation three months later.
