I\u2019m sick with myself and furious for that,\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>While Downing Street has continued to deny any such party took place, saying it was made up as a joke for a mock news conference, he apologized on Wednesday for the perception left to the public. Opposition Leader Keir Starmer said he believes the party did take place and has pressed the prime minister to own up to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prime minister has been caught red handed,\u201d said Starmer. \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t he end the investigation right now by just admitting it?\u201d Starmer went on to add, \u201ceven the prime minister must understand the damage he\u2019s done to his credibility in enforcing the rules now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson also faced backlash from members of his own Conservative Party, with high ranking officials demanding everyone who attended the party be fired.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I welcome stronger measures to protect people from Covid.<\/p>\n<p>But Boris Johnson\u2019s recent actions have undermined public trust. <\/p>\n<p>His contempt for the public won\u2019t be forgotten. <\/p>\n<p>Serious times call for serious leadership. <\/p>\n<p>I hope the Prime Minister takes his own guidance this time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Keir_Starmer\/status\/1468671331453521922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/reps-pressley-ocasio-cortez-sponsor-resolution-to-remove-rep-boebert-from-committees\/\">Reps.
