Nursing body complains about MP Michael Fabricant's lockdown drink comments
He said the prime minister needed to think hard and apologise, although he did not think that Mr Johnson believed he was breaking the law.
"I think at the time just like many teachers and nurses who after a very, very long shift would tend to go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink which is more or less what he has done.... I don't think he thought he was breaking the law, but of course that doesn't make any sort of excuse...," he said.
In a statement later, Mr Fabricant said a teacher and two nurses had told him they had some sympathy with the prime minister "as after an exhausting day at work they, too, had had a drink with their work mates".He said he fully understood the anger of people who obeyed the rules, "couldn't visit relatives, and missed weddings and funerals".
