i was genuinely surprised when i saw that video, that people were laughing and joking about parties. although, to be fair to allegra stratton, it was kind of an acknowledgement that there isn't an answer to this. if individuals were having events in downing street which were social, purely social events during that time, then that shouldn't have happened. you know, we've all been through this horrendous time. i think we need to cut the prime ministera bit of slack. this isn't an excuse for partygate or whatever you call it, but i think the staff in number 10 have worked all round the clock during this crisis and they deserve a lot of credit. ruby fuller and her mother obeyed the rules, even in the most heart—breaking circumstances. so this is actually one of my favourite photos of ruby. it was actually taken about two weeks before she died. in may 2020, at the height of the first lockdown, ruby had terminal cancer.
