Viral Downing Street “Christmas Rave” raises over £100k for charity

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 could now investigate a Christmas quiz held in Downing Street during the 2020 lockdown, after a new photograph of Boris Johnson attending the event emerged.

Abba have distanced themselves from claim that Boris Johnson played their hits at a party.

Boris Johnson has told Greater Manchester residents, who were banned from mixing with other households indoors for a heartbreaking 391 days, he is 'sorry for any misjudgements' in the wake of 'partygate'.

The Mirror.Despite that, prosecutor Nathan Paine-Davey saidthat her offence was enough to charge her for being involved in holding the gathering.At the time the country was just days into a lockdown which prevented any sort of mass gatherings indoor and out.The prosecutor said: “This relates to November 7 and 8. The defendant has been charged with an offence against the public protection coronavirus restrictions regulations which were in force on November 5, 2020.”Eric Kawoya, defending, said Innerarity had been asked by two friends named if they could borrow her sound equipment.He told the court his client did not know the equipment would be used for a party.Mr Kawoya added: “She packed them in the car and drove to the venue.

The Sue Gray report today found 'failures of leadership and judgement' over Downing Street lockdown parties that 'should not have been allowed'.

Civil servant Sue Gray has published part of her long-awaited report into the partygate row. She has been investigating a number of rule breaking parties allegedly held during lockdown, including the 'bring your own booze' gathering on 20 May 2020. Now, an update from the report has been made available to the public. The inquiry covers a total of 16 separate gatherings on 12 different dates. Ms Gray is understood to have pared back the report following a request from the Metropolitan Police. The wording of a government statement issued on Monday (31 January) suggested that the official may wish to publish a fuller-version of the results of her inquiry after the Met completes its investigation. But Downing Street said it will publish the Gray report in the full form it has received from the inquiry team - and did not commit to publishing a fuller version in the future.

The much-anticipated inquiry into Downing Street parties could be handed to Boris Johnson as soon as this weekend.

The Met Police says it has received new evidence from the Cabinet Office as part of its investigation into possible breaches of Covid regulations in Downing Street.

Boris Johnson’s planned tax hike in national insurance will go ahead in April, “no ifs, no buts” Downing Street has confirmed.

Demands are growing for the publication of the entire Sue Gray 'partygate' report amid claims that police interference in the process will lead to a whitewash.

There’s been significant backlash after Scotland Yard revealed that the Sue Gray inquiry has been asked to make ‘minimal reference’ to events being investigated by the police.

Boris Johnson is still waiting for Sue Gray’s partygate report to arrive on his desk.

The SNP has made a fresh call on Boris Johnson to resign after the latest revelations in the partygate scandal allege the Prime Minister held a lockdown-breaking birthday bash in 2020.
