Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK said on Twitter: "After everything it’s still unbelievably painful that Boris Johnson was partying and breaking his own lockdown rules, while we were unable to be at loved ones' sides in their dying moments, or in miserable funerals with only a handful of people. We were following the rules."
