Former Conservative mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey will face no action by police over a mid-lockdown gathering. Mr Bailey was seen alongside Tory aides raising glasses beside buffet food at Conservative Party headquarters while London was under coronavirus rules.
None of the attendees will face action from Scotland Yard. Several wore festive hats as they smiled for the camera and one had a House of Commons Christmas jumper on at the December 2020 event.
On Friday, the Metropolitan Police said there was "insufficient evidence to disprove the version of events provided by attendees". Mr Bailey apologised “unreservedly” for the event organised by his campaign team and said it was a “serious error of judgment”.
