Allegra Stratton said she has offered her resignation to the PM less than 20 hours after the video emerged.
Trying to hold back the tears, former ITV journalist Ms Stratton offered her"profound apologies" for joking about the alleged party during a rehearsal for a news conference in which other aides asked her about the gathering, said to have taken place on 18 December last year.ITV News obtained the footage, apparently showing Allegra Stratton rehearsing taking questions with Downing Street staff standing in for journalists.
"My remarked seemed to make light of the rules, rules that people were doing everything to obey. That was never my intention.
Why was the video shown earlier if the press had it and according to reports some reporters were at the parties. Let’s see who all the attendees were
There was no party … honest ! 😎
Unless she tells us that the party happened and who was there I have zero sympathy. This isn't remorse this is sorrow at being caught. This is the way the Tories work. No standards, no regrets, no responsibility
Quit should be in quotes. 'Quit' .
It's not always easy when the jokes are on her.

What next for Boris Johnson after the No 10 party video?Footage of No 10 staff joking about a lockdown party has left even the PM's supporters stunned. I think the words you are searching for are: 'Johnson has lost all authority and trust I fail to see how he can continue. To restore trust in politics there must surely be an independent inquiry into standards in office and possibly a criminal investigation arising.' Nothing, absolutely nothing as the oleaginous oaf doesn't care what people think and doesn't think he should be held to account for anything ever. I think he’s done. He’s just so toxic. It’s hard to look at him now.
