No 10 party: more Downing Street gatherings now under the spotlight

The Guardian says As an investigation is launched into a party held in No 10, other alleged gatherings are under the spotlight amid allegations that some in Downing Street may have contravened Covid rules.

An inquiry announced by the prime minister, however, is focused on facts surrounding what happened on 18 December 2020.

A party was held in No 10 when London was in tier 3 restrictions, which banned social events, according to multiple sources after the Daily Mirror first broke the story last week. Several dozen people – a mix of civil service and political staff – reportedly attended and were told to bring “secret Santa” presents, with cheese and wine laid on.
