Northern Ireland minister Conor Burns (pictured left) defended Boris Johnson (inset, holding a cake on a visit to a primary school on the same day as the birthday bash) after it was revealed he attended a gathering, complete with a Union Jack cake and singing, that was organised by his wife Carrie in the Cabinet Room on June 19, 2020. He said the Prime Minister was working in the room before people came in and presented him with the cake, adding: ‘He was there for about 10 minutes.’ The comments led to a flurry of memes on social media (top and bottom right), with one person writing: ‘Next up, Lockdown Parties with their latest single Ambushed By A Cake.’ Meanwhile, senior Cabinet ministers including Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries also downplayed the seriousness of the PM attending the bash. They insisted that the gathering of around 30 people specifically to mark the PM’s 56th birthday in June 2020 could be seen as a extension of the workplace.
