A look at why Boris Johnson has launched an investigation into a “cheese and wine” gathering at Number 10.
Image: ITV Image: ITV BORIS JOHNSON IS coming under pressure over a restrictions-breaking party held at Number 10 Downing Street by his staff last Christmas, that his Government has officially denied had taken place.
The Mirror alleged that around “40 or 50″ people were crammed “cheek by jowl” into a room in Number 10 for both events. The video was taken in the UK Government’s £2.6 million press briefing room, as aides rehearsed possible questions from the media. “Is cheese and wine all right?” Stratton replied, to laughter in the room. One person replied “No! … Joking.”
This afternoon, Labour leader Keir Starmer told the House of Commons that more than a dozen breaches of Covid restrictions last December were being prosecuted “right now” in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, including for those who hosted parties.
