Stamer's one was a year later when the rules was a bit looser. But the police did investigate and found he didn't break it: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...er-office-beer
If Johnson admitted back in December 'Yes, there was that cake' and this was the only incident things would be been easier for him much like it was for Starmer. But Johnson is under investigation for other events and he kept lying about it all the time.

I am by no means a Sturgeon fan but if she was papped without a mask on in the first 30 seconds of entering a building before remembering to put one on, that’s quite obviously not the same thing as attending a party with cake or stopping in the office for drinks.

I didn't realise the law said you get a 30 seconds grace period before the face mask law kicked in.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Amazing how all the people slamming the Met’s record in policing & veracity never felt the necessity to mention their doubts and concerns when it was people other than Johnson being on the receiving end of the Cockernee Plods long arm of the law…

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
The Met Police have proven to be corrupt over many years, here's just one example. There are many more if you care to look.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60832186
That said can the majority of the Met be called corrupt? Personally no, certainally at the lower levels and I knew a few of regular officers when I lived in the Met area for a few years (I framed a few advanced driving certificates for some of them). They had no respect for their superiors.

- Starmer had a beer one year later too. I'm sure government rules did not alter throughout the pandemic.
- Where in the pandemic regulations did it mention not eating cake or drinking wine?
- You boring Boris-bashers really do need to move on. We need a strong and stable government to manage our response to the Ukraine war and cost of living crisis.

The HMICFRS report said "it would not describe the Met as institutionally corrupt" based on this inspection but it did say the force's approach to tackling corruption was "not fit for purpose"

Anyway, the point I was trying to make was that some posters never seemed to previously had an issue with the Met’s "form" until it affected someone they supported…

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
In hindsight, it may have been much better if the Met had received a tip off about the birthday bash.
They then could have barged in, shot everyone in attendance and confiscated the cake and booze.
Obviously the officers involved would then need to be suspended on full pay whilst awaiting the results of an investigation of 'over the top' policing at the behest of the Labour party

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
As many have said, Johnson is extremely likely to win this vote but it won't look good for the Conservatives on May 5th.
Quote:
The Commons Speaker says MPs will vote on Thursday on whether the PM should be investigated for knowingly misleading Parliament over breaching Covid laws
Sir Lindsay Hoyle says he will allow MPs time to debate a motion from Labour on whether to refer Boris Johnson to Parliament's Privileges Committee.
