Why leave the throwing the dirt until now, old news, move on and stay safe yourselves. If they don't, that's their lookout!

Seems from outside that taking a bow is now the only patriotic option left for Johnson. In the public eye, he - understandably - personifies this culture of impunity and hypocrisy. To end COVID-19, the people have to have a technocratic government to trust in

The press should stop focusing on this kind of stuff most people don’t really care. Your just encouraging people to break the rules cause you think Johnson did.

Having a laugh on the BBC now being Banned which would explain their comedy policy

People are saying so what they have broken rules and don't they deserve a party. Just remember whilst this was going on some people had family members in hospital dying alone because we unlike the government were following covid rules that these people set out.

You feeling ok hun? Shouldn't you be covering this up?

Dont you find it strange that this video appears where the person is talking about a party what party the hot topic of today has any one varified the date of the video or spoke to the woman concerned talking about a phony party hmm a year before the story broke

Smile in odds.

Someone says Boris needs some grown ups in there. I disagree. The fact is he needs 'replacing' with a grown up! It is important to look well beyond the current useless Cabinet. Truss is no Thatcher she thinks she is wonderful getting trade deal with Australia - its pittance!

BBCPolitics Except Boris announced rules 2 days before this mock news conference, so this article is downplaying the seriousness of it all

Why are you so late with this? Did you have to get permission from your Tory boss to post it?

Why hasnt boris gone yet? How many more scandals and lies are we going to put up with!?!

The Tories are laughing at us. This is Jacob Rees Mogg today.

What took you so

Are we going to try and pin this in the staff ? This is Johnson's responsibility , where's his resignation ? downingstreetparty JohnsonMustGo

Can’t see how anyone can complain, the majority of country voted these people into power

While in other news David Frost is about to trigger article 16!. Just saying💥 Civil service and the media witchhunt part 2 after Barnard Castle.

Finally! Took you long enough...

This better be your headline on the 10 o’clock news or I am making sure I cancel my tv licence next year!!

This government has been a farce but I still wouldn’t vote labour…. Politically homeless.

Imagine government doing their own investigation, then finding no wrong doing. Send in the 🤡

Taking us for mugs.

Are you allegedly saying about the pm having a party during lockdown because the BBC is losing money and credibility?if not please provide photographic evidence of the fact

Oh you’re awake! This news has only been out there for nearly three hours now. Well done 🙄
