Met Police reviewing decision not to probe No 10 quiz after picture of Boris Johnson near alcohol emerges

Scotland Yard said they would rethink their assessment of the event following the publication of an image of the prime minister next to an opened bottle, crisps, a person wearing tinsel and another wearing a Santa hat.

At the time of the event, on 15 December 2020, London was under Tier 2 coronavirus restrictions.

This banned any social mixing indoors between people from different households.

Scotland Yard said in a statement: "The Metropolitan Police service previously assessed this event and determined that on the basis of the evidence available at that time, it did not meet the threshold for criminal investigation. "That assessment is now being reviewed."

I wonder if Nadhim Zahawi may be less reluctant to defend Johnson this time round. He previously told Sky News when questioned about another picture of the evening: "What do we see in that picture? We see a prime minister on a virtual quiz night for 10-15 minutes to thank his staff who had no choice but to come in every single day. "Sitting in his office with the two people who are closest working with him, no alcohol on the table, not drinking, on a Zoom call or a Teams call, a virtual call, respecting the lockdown rules."

And breaking the law, whilst the plebs can't see dying relatives.

You were allowed to socialise with the people in your own home.

Exactly! We'd have no need for prisons if everyone here was as forgiving of everyone else as they are of Johnson. He can do no wrong in some people's eyes! :)

I think he might be the Second Coming. Not many liked Jesus at the time. ;)

No, his home is a couple of floors up next door - he’s in an office.

If he was in his flat, the others wouldn’t have been allowed in, under the regs at the time.

Or having work breaks, like Sir Keir was having when he was caught drinking beer with colleagues.

Drinking alcohol was not banned during lockdown. Socialising outside of work was, though.

Boris will argue either that these were work events or breaks between work. If Starmer got away with saying he was having a work break when drinking that beer and the police accepted that, it’s looking good for BJ.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties

Yes, we all have a glass of Prosecco during work breaks…

Anyway, Johnson said he followed all the rules and followed COVID guidance at all time - you now seem to be saying that he didn’t, but it’s OK, because Starmer didn’t either?

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties

From the picture I've seen, Boris is nowhere near the bottle . . . good story for the knockers to get their gums into though . . . seeing as the Russkie invasion has gone quiet
