DOWNING Street staff have been banned from going in the garden in a post-Partygate crackdown.

Boris Johnson imposed a “residents only” order on No10’s outside space.

Police are probing 12 alleged parties, including a wine and cheese party in the Downing Street garden

It means the garden can only be used by the PM, Chancellor and their wives and kids – all other people must have permission

It means only his wife Carrie, their kids, or Rishi Sunak, his wife Akshata and their kids can use the garden without permission.

It comes as police probe 12 alleged lockdown-breaking parties in Whitehall, including a wine and cheese party in the Downing St garden.

Letters of no confidence are expected if officers find against the Prime Minister.

But a Tory MP who has been critical of Mr Johnson said: “I would give him 60-40 surviving this.

“It depends on the severity of the sanction if there is one.”
