(Picture: PA)The Metropolitan Police announced they were opening a criminal investigation into the Downing Street gatherings after months of people calling for them to do so. Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said there were grounds to suspect “serious and flagrant” breaches of the law, with No10 themselves admitting to at least three gatherings themselves during lockdown.
She added that her officers were “investigating a number of events that took place at Downing Street and in Whitehall in the past two years in relation to potential breaches of Covid-19 regulations”.
