she tweeted, nobody needs an official to tell them if they were at a boozy shindig in their own garden, and adds this. there are plenty of my parliamentary colleagues who have no idea what anyone in that email chain was thinking or how. you know, this is utterly indefensible. the opposition labour party also wants answers. there s no need for an investigation into the simple central question today. did the prime minister attend the event in the downing street garden on may 20th 2020? the prime minister has declined to say, pointing each time to the investigation. in december, though, as the allegations mounted, mrjohnson did repeatedly offer assurances. all guidance was followed completely during number 10. we followed the guidance throughout and continue to follow the guidance. all i can tell you is that all the guidelines were observed. were they, though, were the rules followed? we know there was a christmas party in downing street on december 18th 2020.
