A Tory MP has apologised for attending 'birthday drinks' during Covid. Virginia Crosbie attended the event in Parliament while restrictions were still in place.
The Guido Fawkes website reported that the MP for Ynys Mon, was the co-host of an alleged drinks event on December 8 2020. The site quoted a WhatsApp message from Baroness Jenkin describing the event as “joint birthday drinks” to mark the pair turning 54 and 65 respectively, PA reports.
The event came under the spotlight when Boris Johnson lashed out at the Privileges Committee ahead of its damning report into his conduct, and accused Sir Bernard Jenkin of “monstrous hypocrisy” for allegedly attending the event with his wife. Ms Crosbie confirmed the event took place but said she had not sent out any invitation.
