Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
Looks like Downing Street is throwing Martin Reynolds under the bus in an attempt to save Johnson.

Quote:
In an explosive riposte, the [senior government] source told Sky News:

• Mr Reynolds failed at his job of protecting Downing Street staff from the spread of COVID in Number 10

• The public are right to be outraged

• One rule for them, one rule for us

• He didn't think through the consequences

• He has to be held accountable for it

Wow! That makes Mr Reynolds' position untenable, surely, assuming that astonishing attack was issued with the authority of the prime minister.

Earlier, the PM's spokesman said Mr Reynolds isn't going anywhere - an ambassador's job had been suggested - but that has all changed now. The PM and his inner circle had obviously been hoping the Reynolds email would remain secret. Bad luck!
