Met Police reviewing decision not to probe No 10 quiz after picture of Boris Johnson emerges

Police are reviewing their initial decision not to investigate a Christmas quiz in Number 10, held at a time of strict COVID rules, after a picture of Boris Johnson and a bottle of alcohol emerged.

Scotland Yard said they would rethink their assessment of the event following the publication of an image of the Prime Minister next to alcohol, crisps, a person wearing tinsel and another wearing a Santa hat.

At the time of the event, on 15 December 2020, London was under Tier 2 coronavirus restrictions.

Met must be the only police force that doesn't know how to carry out an investigation.

[echo]

How many lies does he have to tell to the house before he can be called a liar?

[jonathanpardoe]

I am more frightened of Boris than ever I am about Mr Putin .

[thesocialmediascientistmbe]

Good God, just make an example out of this waste of space and get rid of him!

[celticminstrel]

The met will stall for as long as possible to avoid showing itself as complicit, they knew perfectly well what was going on at No. 10, they have 24hr manned surveillance along with security teams.

[samcarena]

What an absolute disgrace. This is completely shameful

[captainbarbosa]

1 law for the tories and another for the peasants.

[bunbwre]

The met need investigating themselves for turning a blind eye to these parties.

[clearlake]

I wonder how many Met officers are working on the Downing Street parties. I trust it's more than just one elderly bobby on a bike.

[jsb]

Lol. Your Prime Minister is the comedy gift that keeps on giving.

[PeaceAndLove]

Boris knew this would happen and knew the full report would be held back. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Roll on Elections Boris and all the MPs defending him all have to go.

[CreatingChaos]

They should be reviewing THEMSELVES first...
Who decided and why.
Javids brother is deputy commissioner.. Pure coincidence obviously 🙄

[grahamturner]

Partygate : the gift that just keeps giving. 😊

[classiccomedycinemaprogram]

Another investigation... another delay to kick the can over the horizon

[MrJonathanainsworth]

If it was anyone else they’d be all over it with fines and imprisonment threats, but because it’s the government committing the crimes, they’re doing sweet FA about it.

[lesparton]

For goodness sake get on with it!! Do something to help get rid of this pathetic PM!!

[Osammar]

I'm not saying I like Dominic Cummings, but I am enjoying his energy right now.

[jamieslack]

They already have so much dirt on this man the piece of paper with all the issues must be other a mile long by now

[jasonpattinson]

So, a corrupt institution investigates a corrupt institution and find nothing afoot. Seems legit.

[jameswebb]

So they’re deciding whether to decide to investigate it?
