Darts fans have taken aim at Boris Johnson during the PDC World Darts Championship
Crowds were heard shouting: “Stand up if you hate Boris” in unison as they packed out Alexandra Palace in London at the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship on Monday.
Many fans dressed in costumes for the event, including a group wearing masks that showed the faces of the Prime Minister, Home Secretary Priti Patel, former Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings and the ex-health secretary Matt Hancock. It came after a photograph emerged of Mr Johnson, his staff and his then-fiancee, Carrie Johnson, sitting round a table with cheese and wine in the No 10 garden during the first national lockdown.picture, which Downing Street said shows a work meeting, has sparked further accusations of parties being held across Whitehall during periods when London was under tight Covid restrictions on social gatherings.
Professor Keith Neil, a public health expert at the University of Nottingham, said the event risks worsening the spread of the virus in the capital.
