Met Police reopens investigation into potential Westminster Covid breaches

The Metropolitan Police have opened a new investigation and reopened a previous inquiry into potential breaches of Covid regulations in Westminster in 2020 and 2021.

The force is revisiting an inquiry into a party held at Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) on December 14 2020, while Covid restrictions were in place. Last month, a video emerged, with footage obtained by the Sunday Mirror appearing to show Conservative staff dancing and joking about lockdown rules.

Invitations for the gathering, obtained by the BBC, show that it was described as a "Jingle & Mingle Christmas Drinks".
