The prime minister has come under pressure over a No 10 event that took place amid Covid restrictions.

Meanwhile, a Conservative Party spokesperson has confirmed four of its staff - who had been seconded to the party's London mayoral campaign - were disciplined following an unauthorised social gathering in one of the party's offices on 14 December last year.

It's not over because there are claims of at least three other gatherings in Downing Street - denied but not fully explained, and one other confirmed. It's not over because the opposition parties have no intention of letting this lie.And it matters, not just because of grisly or embarrassing details of what jokes were cracked or games were played.

Asked about events reported to have happened in Downing Street last year, the prime minister said: "As far as I'm aware, to the best of my knowledge we have followed the rules throughout." However, the clip obtained by ITV News appeared to show Downing Street staff on 22 December rehearsing how to respond to potential questions about a party "on Friday night".

As is becoming clearer. The party was on the 18th. The rules changed on the 20th. So although not in the spirit of what was going on, it was within the law.

I thought the whole point of investigating was to gather evidence?

Farcical - trashing the metpoliceuk credibility even further

metpoliceuk we can see through this, and you are destroying your authority.

stephenfry They've started plagiarising one liners from 'A Bit of Fry & Laurie'!?

Oh so a quick call to Cressida Dick sorts it. Call in the favours BorisJohnson Conservatives

Good - what a waste of money, let them get on with doing some real policing.

Police will not investigate due to government interference.

This is just corruption. Call a spade a spade.

metpoliceuk are you happy that Dick is making you a laughing stock in her desperation to keep her job. London and the country are losing their trust in you and all the police.

The Met Police Farce.

What else would you expect within an Independent Sovereign State ruled over by a dictator who breaks more laws than he makes.

How much more evidence do you need.?

Absolutely shameful, Metropolitan Police.

What a fucking joke

The Christmas party is probably covered by the official secretes act. Yet again a cover up by people in public service. Shameful behaviour how can we the electorate ever trust these public servants.

Great even the police won’t do anything this country is very corrupt ashamed to be classed as British we are a laughing stock to the world

Why would they? They’d lose their jobs

Maybe theres nothing to investigate And this is just another smear campaign from some disgruntled government employee

erm.....I'm no Sherlock but wouldn't you just look at the entry log book for that day .. Its the most secure house/street in Britain. Erm...nothing to see here!!!!

WTF

Police must have been there then 😂

'UK learns corruption from the pros: US GOP fascists'

i thought the police investigated...to COLLECT EVIDENCE?

Absolutely fuckin ridiculous! I'm sure the evidence all there if they bothered to look!

They had Metropolitan police officers on the gates booking people in and out and checking bags etc... But they have no evidence! The Met is not fit for purpose, they are institutionally corrupt from the top down.

I suggest you look for wvidence

In literally one of THE MOST secure buildings in the country? Ok

Due to the Metropolitan Police now becoming the paramilitary wing of Boris Johnson's Conservative Party.

But no one at all trusts him. If he wants to know why some people are anti-vaccination, look no further. I’m vaxxed but those I speak to who are not, all cite their lack of govt trust as key reason. He has to go, he’s a dangerous, corrupt liability

Hmm ,, statements from attendees isn’t enough ?

Well I never…….yet another thing I didn’t see coming 🙄

There was plenty of evidence for the Cummings escapade to Barnard Castle but no action. It seems that If you are someone from the ruling elite, be it royalty or government you are immune from police action.
