A report declared that just hours before the drastic new cost of living bills came into place for Britons, Prime Minister Boris Johnson hosted lavish champagne and canapes do and quipped about Partygate.
On Thursday night, Boris Johnson and fellow Cabinet ministers went to Claridge’s in London’s Mayfair to schmooze Tory donors, ahead of the life-changing rise in costs for bills and council tax for the people of the United Kingdom.
The next day saw millions of ordinary Britons face an invasion on their budgets because council tax, car tax, national insurance, water ills and the cost of broadband, phones and TV were all going up in April.
Households are suffering a tremendous hit on living standards as the price of gas and electricity skyrockets by 54 per cent, as regulator Ofgem raised the price cap for an average home to £1,971 from £1,277. Experts anticipate it will be about £2,700 a year from October.
All the while Boris Johnson was wooing rich donors, with his aim to get money for the Conservative’s marginal seats fund.
He was also have said to have laughed off the ongoing Partygate investigations by the Metropolitan Police, telling guests that he could assure them that they wouldn’t be sent any questionnaires for attending the event.
According to a newspaper outlet, Cabinet ministers and MPs, including Home Secretary Priti Patel were also in attendance as Parliament broke up for Easter.
They joined the remaining 150 guests at the five-star hotel, feasted on fancy canapes and sipped champagne for two hours on Thursday 31 March.

Also named Bleak Friday, April 1 saw all 66 million Britons face an invasion on their budget because council tax, car tax, national insurance, water bills and the cost of broadband, phones and TV are all going up in April.
Boris Johnson is laughing at you, yes you, the ordinary person and we should quit voting for them, not enabling them. Yet people voted for this obsessive liar, despite knowing he was full of baloney.
People are just mooing animals to the Tories who can be easily convinced of any old rubbish. But we can no longer blame the politicians – fool me once shame on them, fool me repeatedly, shame on me!
And Boris Johnson is laughing because he knows he’ll probably get re-elected. But the problem is we say the self-same thing about Labour when they do get elected and it’s about time we had some new players.
This Tory government aren’t out of touch with reality, they just couldn’t care less about the people as long as their fat snouts are in the trough.
It’s just a shame that Boris Johnson didn’t put on the side of a bus that energy prices would go up – nobody would have voted for Brexit then. Come to think of it, they probably wouldn’t have voted for Boris either!
THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO 
Proud to be a Remainer. I’ll always be. I’ve always known the Tories were bad but the neglect is terrible, they really do not care. But where is the opposition? Still virtue signalling and appeasing people not representative of the population, Labour needs to up it’s game, get rid of Starmer and Corbyn and get the country behind some big changes. The main issue is still being avoided. If the Tories were partying during a dangerous, killer pandemic perhaps there wasn’t a dangerous, killer pandemic…
