First Partygate video reveals Tory Party staff celebrating during Covid restrictions

A bombshell video has emerged showing Conservative Party staff celebrating a Christmas bash when coronavirus restrictions were in force. The previously unseen clip, at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London, reveals Tories drinking, dancing and laughing at Covid rules.

Reported in The Mirror, at least 24 revellers were there and, shockingly, they include two named on ex-PM Boris Johnson’s controversial resignation honours list. In the exclusive footage, two dancers even twirl past a sign saying “Please keep your distance”.

It will infuriate families who lost relatives in Covid and will reignite criticism of Mr Johnson just days after he was slammed for misleading MPs over parties at No10.
