"MY daughter was dead while they were out at parties" are the harrowing words of a Worcestershire mother whose daughter died during COVID-19.

A clip of Philipa Bateman from Worcestershire has gone viral on social media after she explained how her daughter had killed herself during a covid lockdown in a BBC Radio 4 show. 

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been found to be in "serious contempt" of Parliament after Partygate.

Mr Johnson was found to have knowingly misled Parliament by a cross-party investigation.

During the call, Mrs Bateman broke down in tears and said Mr Johnson should be held accountable, calling the way he behaved during his leadership through the pandemic "wicked."

During lockdown, Mrs Bateman and her husband wanted to visit their daughter, who was suffering from the mental effects of the pandemic but were told the journey was 'unnecessary' by police. 

A few days later her parents received a call saying their daughter had killed herself.

There has been a huge response since Mrs Bateman shed light on the consequences the lockdown restrictions had on her family with one video having more then 1.3m views.

Well known figures such as Alastair Campbell have also shared the interview and their thoughts on social media.

 

Mrs Bateman said: "I believe that Boris Johnson should be held accountable for everything.

"Every single social media thing he has, every diary. 

"Three years ago, when Covid-19 started, you'll have to excuse me if I get upset - it's because I am.

"My husband and I and my daughter were distressed. 

"She lived in Worcestershire, so we thought we had to do everything right.

"We phoned and they said we couldn't go.

"It wasn't an essential journey, so they said they would make police in London would go and check she was okay. 

"We didn't hear anything, so we waited all day. I rang the police again and they said, just wait. 

"We'll get back to you.

"So at some point that day, they got back to us and our daughter had killed herself.

"And we couldn't go there to see her.

"And then, even on the day that only three of us could go to the funeral. 

"The police told us because we couldn't make another visit, we had to empty her flat the same day of the funeral. 

"And then we came back and we saw those people smirking saying it wasn't a party.

"We heard all the things that him saying it wasn't a party. 

"We didn't do this.

"You are so accountable.

"My daughter was dead while they were out doing their parties. 

"And I will never, ever forgive the government for doing that.

"Never in my life.

"And all those people who say people need to move on. 

"How can we move on when we're in hell every minute of our lives? 

"Because we lost our daughter when we could have got there.

"It's just wicked.

"It's trivial.

"Blathering about his privacy, who cares about his privacy at all?

"You were supposed to be running the government and people were dying alone because of that.

"And they couldn't care less."
