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."
