Police have a photograph of
Boris Johnson holding a can of a beer at his lockdown birthday party in June 2020, the Mirror has been told.
The Prime Minister is pictured standing next to Chancellor
Rishi Sunak, who is holding a soft drink, in No10’s Cabinet Room.
Sources said Mr Johnson appeared to be raising his can of Estrella beer towards the camera in a toast.
The bombshell image was thought to have been taken by Mr Johnson’s official taxpayer-funded photographer who was documenting the event.
It is thought to be among 300 pictures submitted to the Metropolitan Police as evidence of rule-busting gatherings by senior civil servant Sue Gray.
These are believed to include photos taken at parties and those taken from security-system cameras showing when people entered and exited buildings.
Multiple images taken by the official No 10 photographer, Andrew Parsons, are also believed to have been handed over to Scotland Yard.
Downing Street has admitted staff “gathered briefly” at a surprise birthday celebration organised by Carrie Johnson - but said the PM only stayed 10 minutes.
