Gavin Williamson ‘threw party for staff while millions were under lockdown’

The Metro says Former Education Secretary Gavin Williamson threw a party for officials and ministers in the department’s café last December in breach of coronavirus restrictions, it has been reported.

While millions in London were banned from mixing indoors under tier two rules, Mr Williamson’s staff got together on December 10 for ‘drinks and canapés’, according to the Daily Mirror.

One source told the newspaper: ‘There were lots of people gathered in the cafe area, mingling and drinking wine. It was just so reckless.’

A week earlier, Mr Williamson advised that people should take the ‘responsible approach’ by following social distancing and self-isolation rules.
