Michael Gove labels new Partygate video of Tories breaking Covid rules as 'indefensible'

The senior Cabinet minister said the footage - revealed but the Mirror - is 'completely out of order' - but declined to be drawn into whether the Metropolitan Police should launch a new probe.

The previously unseen video shows staff boozing, dancing and mocking lockdown laws at the height of Covid at Conservative Campaign Headquarters.
