(Picture: PA Wire)The focus of the Partygate scandal has now shifted to the Metropolitan Police as officers investigate 12 alleged gatherings in Downing Street and Whitehall across a year of the pandemic.
A ‘bring your own booze’ garden party on May 20, 2020, an alleged gathering in the Prime Minister’s private flat after the departure of his aide Dominic Cummings on November 13, 2020, and leaving parties in Downing Street on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021 are among the events under investigation.
