Got to wonder who leaked that video. There can't be too many people who had access to it.

Interesting that in her resignation speech, she didn't deny the party happened...

And the Hancock video…………..

There are definitely people embedded in the Tory party happy to see Rome burn.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
 
It’s Johnson’s populism that’s tearing the party apart. He’s some distance from traditional conservative values. By attempting to be all things to all people he’s made it a broad church from red wall former Labour voters to the left and UKIP voters to the right somewhere in there it becomes a difficult balancing act.

As a Brexit Government they’ve culled almost anyone who campaigned to remain from the Cabinet and many from the Parliamentary party haven’t sought re-election. A Conservative Government is traditionally pale, male, stale. But broadly considered to a sizeable proportion of the electorate a safe pair of hands.

Leaping from chaotic event to chaotic event isn’t something that traditional, non-red wall, non-UKIP types find appealing.

Guess I must be the only person in the country that is not interested in if it happened or not. To me there far more important matters happening in the world , afgainistan ,lran ,Brexit ( n.i ) and even Joe Biden and his total waste is of a VP

Quote from The Sun: BORIS Johnson's top aide Allegra Stratton resigned in tears this afternoon just hours after bombshell footage showed her laughing about a lockdown-busting Christmas party at No10.

The PM earlier said he was "sickened" by the leaked video of his senior advisers joking about the alleged illegal gathering last year.

In an sobbing statement outside her home Ms Stratton said she will regret her actions "for the rest of my days" and apologised to the British public.
She's fallen on her sword. Is this enough to take the heat off Boris?

Westminster voting intention:

LAB: 38% (+2)
CON: 34% (-4)
LDEM: 11% (+2)
GRN: 6% (-)
REFUK: 5% (+1)

I wonder what's caused this?! Party poopers I guess...

However all of that isn't in our remit and personally I actually care what's happening HERE because what happens here has a much more direct effect on me and mine.Yes what's happening elsewhere is important and worrying but here and now will always have MY attention.

I'm always interested in lies and corruption being exposed, imo to many people are happy to let them get away with one rule for us no rules for them

I suspect a large percentage of the public will not really care about a party that may (or may not) have happened 12 or so months ago.

In fact most are probably fed up of the constant media attention of something that really doesnt affect them at all.

I know I am, and dont care about it at all - did they or didnt they, either way it will have zero effect on my day to day life.

I had my Christmas then, pretty much the same as all previous ones (and the same again this year). The Turkey is in the freezer, waiting, and the family is invited (and coming).

My main objection to it is that they had seen fit to impose restrictions which prevented the general public from doing so.


Also, rather than making the event seemingly low-key (a few drinks from people working in an office together at the end of the day would be minimal covid risk) they not only went to town on it (apparently) but also completely mocked the event with the videos in the press conference room.


And all this comes to light as they try and put new restrictions, albeit much milder, on the rest of us.



it's double standards, love the Thatcher quote, now she is one who acted with integrity.

You know what they say…

"If you can’t remember the Downing Street Christmas party, you were really there."
