They openly mocked Covid rules
The Conservative Party is under investigation again for Partygate after a new video surfaced. The footage shows at party staff drinking, dancing, and mocking Covid lockdown rules.
Nevertheless, this damning video footage sheds new light on the incident, prompting the Metropolitan Police to assess its potential relevance to an ongoing inquiry. Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said: “Revellers openly mocked the rules the British people followed. The Tories think it’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else.
The footage shows two revellers knock over wine glasses as they spiral into a table laden with buffet food. The unsteady pair twirl each other around to the sounds of The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York. And the footage emerged after a dramatic week in which Partygate finally caught up with the ex-PM. In a damning report on Thursday, the Privileges Committee found he had repeatedly misled MPs over lockdown-busting gatherings.
