The Metropolitan Police has re-opened its investigation into a boozy lockdown Christmas party at Conservative HQ after bombshell footage was published showing staff cavorting and joking at the event.
Footage first released by the Mirror last month showed a number of senior Tory party staff enjoying a "jingle and mingle" at Conservative Campaign Headquarters – more commonly known as CCHQ – on December 14, 2020, when much of the country was in lockdown.
Scotland Yard says it is also opening a new investigation into a reported gathering in Parliament during the same month. However, it will not investigate claims Boris Johnson breached regulations at No 10 and his country residence at Chequers.
