Police are reviewing whether Christmas quiz in No 10 may have breached coronavirus restrictions

Police are reviewing whether a Christmas quiz in No 10 breached coronavirus restrictions after a picture emerged showing the Prime Minister and colleagues near an open bottle of prosecco and a packet of crisps.
Scotland Yard said on Wednesday that officers were reconsidering their previous assessment that the event on December 15 2020 did not meet the threshold for criminal investigation after the new evidence emerged.
The Mirror published a photo showing Boris Johnson and three members of staff – one wearing tinsel and another in a Santa hat – near what appears to be an uncorked bottle of prosecco and an open bag of crisps.

Downing Street insists the event was a “virtual quiz” and police had decided not to investigate it alongside 12 other events after being passed evidence from the Sue Gray inquiry into alleged lockdown breaches.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: “The MPS previously assessed this event and determined that on the basis of the evidence available at that time, it did not meet the threshold for criminal investigation.
“That assessment is now being reviewed.”
The Mirror publishing its latest photo during Prime Minister’s Questions prompted a challenge from shadow minister Fabian Hamilton.
The Labour MP said the image appears to show “one of the Christmas parties he told us never happened”, adding: “Will the Prime Minister be referring this party to the police as it is not one of the ones currently being investigated?”
Mr Johnson responded: “In what he has just said, I’m afraid he is completely in error.”

‘Encanto’ Touted as a Disney Franchise as CEO Credits Streaming for Its Wider Success
“Encanto” was one of several Disney films released first as a theatrically exclusive title this past fall after the box office success of Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” With turnout still well below pre-2020 levels because of the pandemic, the film grossed just $94.7 million domestic and $237 million worldwide. But on Christmas Eve, 30 days after its Thanksgiving weekend opening, “Encanto” was released on Disney+ and became an instant hit, with Disney reporting on its earnings call that it became the fastest title on the service to reach 200 million hours of viewing time by users.
