simply is not willing to give any additional information or answers, so they claim that no covid rules were broken. let s walk through what were broken. let s walk through what we know about what was happening in london on december the 18th last year when this bash happened. london was in tier 3 which meant you could not socialise with anyone outside your domestic bubble. there was an exemption as far as meeting reasonably for work was concerned, but we are told by someone who was at this particular party that food, drink and games were under way. it went on until past midnight. so that on the face of it looks and sounds and smells perhaps as well like a party. so how on earth was it possible? we are continuing to ask downing street, they said they did not break any rules. we have the daily lobby briefing for westminster reporters, we suspect there will be one or two questions along exactly these lines coming up in the next
are you considering referring this breach of the code violations to the prime minister to the metropolitan police? the line from downing street ever since the first reporting of this in the daily mirror yesterday is that no covid regulations were broken, but certainly as far as one of the parties is concerned, on december the 18th, what we do know is that london was in tier 3 at the time, that banned any social mixing outside of your own household for any purposes whatsoever and we know from a source that there were drinks and there were nibbles and there were games. if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks, it probably is a dark and therefore this to sound on that same metric rather like a party. but right now, the prime minister s official spokesman is taking questions from journalists and we should hearfrom questions from journalists and we should hear from that briefing relatively soon as to what precisely they are saying. as i say, their
