A new video has emerged showing Conservative Party staff celebrating a Christmas party when Covid restrictions were in force - the first time footage has been made public of one of the rule-breaking gatherings in Westminster. It comes just days after former prime minister Boris Johnson was found to have misled MPs over parties at 10 Downing Street while he was in power.
The festive event took place at Conservative Campaign Headquarters on December 14, 2020. In the video, two dancers twirl past a sign saying "Please keep your distance".
The Sunday Mirror reports that at least 24 people were present, including two named on Mr Johnson's controversial resignation honours list. In December 2020 restrictions were in place that prevented groups from socialising indoors.
