Another week, another party scandal for Boris Johnson – this time it has been reported that the Prime Minister was ‘ambushed with a cake’ for his birthday during a national lockdown.
One MP attempted to explain what really happened on the occasion, by claiming that Mr. Johnson was… ambushed with a cake.
It’s probably safe to say that the British public didn’t buy that excuse, as proven by the countless memes on Twitter!
Boris Johnson’s birthday cake
Reports earlier this week claimed that Mr. Johnson allegedly had a birthday party in June 2020. In any other year, this news wouldn’t have been news at all, but in June 2020, the whole country was in lockdown.
Rules at the time stated there couldn’t be indoor social gatherings, but that reportedly didn’t stop the PM!
Mr. Johnson’s wife, Carrie, allegedly organised a surprise get-together for her husband on the afternoon of his birthday.

Up to 30 people apparently attended the party.
Reports also claimed that the PM hosted family friends in his private residence upstairs that night too.
However, Conservative MP Conor Burns, defended the PM yesterday (Tuesday, January 25). Mr Burns said that the party wasn’t pre-planned and that Boris had become “ambushed with a cake”.
Obviously, Mr. Burns’ excuse have gone down a treat with social media users, and Twitter has been full of memes about it ever since.
