I fail to see how police officers could not have been aware of these breaches at the time. They guard Downing Street. An investigation sill surely portray them in bad light also for failing to intervene at the time.

If the police officers weren't aware Downing Street is very easy target

A bomber just has to say that their suitcase is rammed with wine and they instantly get through the security checks. Very worrying.

Anyone actually believe that Boris is isolating because "somebody in his family" has covid?

I'm almost certain he's just laying low and hoping that the whole 'partygate' (god how I hate the media sticking 'gate' at the end of any scandal) blows over.

100% which is also why a load of other carefully placed stories have come out to try and keep him off the top of the news.

Has anyone seen the images doing the rounds showing Keir Starmer with a beer in hand in an office? It looks to me like it's a case of eating / drinking at work, but there certainly seems intention to muddy the waters and point him as a hypocrite. I imagine it will work on some too.

This has been around for a while and was during 'rule of six' regulations. I assume it's been dug up again by desperate Tories.

Just read a new article stating that Downing Street held 'Wine Time Fridays'.

These parties were held weekly!

Edit: beaten to it!

There's some 4D chess at play here by the Tories: I think the garden party now DOES qualify as a work event... given they seem to have been drinking until they were off their tits every bloody day in office hours too.
