'Do As WE SAY, Not As WE DO' | Tory Partygate Xmas Video

Tory Party staff are seen dancing and joking about COVID-19 restrictions during the height of the pandemic at a Christmas party in December 2020.

Audio from the video shows that staff knowingly flouted rules and can be heard saying, “As long as we don’t stream that we’re, like, bending the rules,”

Political and social commentator James Melville gave his take on the scandal with Kevin O'Sullivan.

Is the partygate video bad for the Tory party or is it being blown out of proportion?

[fortuner]

They should lose their jobs and honours. There is no other acceptable outcome.

Another point to make. Sunak said during covid, “no business will be left behind and financial help is available” yet thousands of small business owners were left behind as there was a clause that you had to have historically paid your taxes quarterly not “annually.” With that many people committing Suicide watching their businesses struggle and fail, losing everything they’d worked so hard for, all the time this shower of shite were partying and having a right good knees up. 🤬

Absolutely disgusting, everyone involved should be SACKED. And any honours removed..

[TheMishka]

Should be in jail for his dancing and jumper

What a stupid question ! The very people who were preventing us from seeing our loved ones, burying our dead were getting p...ed and laughing at us all . The only thing that is out of proportion is that boris johnson and his backers are not in prison.

Nothing will change. They will still sneer at us whilst giving themselves honours for a shitty job well done 😡

I remember sitting with my parents on Christmas Day on our own because were weren't allowed to have the rest of the family round.
The 3 of us sat there thinking what a rubbish Christmas, treasured memories ruined because of rules this lot imposed on us.
I can't express the hatred I have after seeing videos like this 😡Boris and his cronies should all go into hiding.

And we will quietly forget that Mr Starmer did exactly the same thing, but with a bent copper investigating got off it.

[marytuttiett]

All awards and honours withdrawn and all should be sacked.!! Bloody tories

[Woodkin]

Remember that people had to die alone in fear or relatives couldnt comfort each other at funerals whilst piss heads at no.10 danced, drank and laughed whilst they were "bending the rules"

[roymcnicholas]

This disgusts me to the core my 75 year old farther could not leave his home to see his friends at his local pub and just faded away at home it broke his heart when his local shut for good and never saw his friends again .these people make me sick

[cherylmcnair]

Is an apology going to cut it? I don't think so.

[marclements]

Hancock killed the old people off with midazolam

[Richard-Cashisking]

Is anybody really surprised they've been caught behaving like they're at David Brent's office party?

[garethjones]

My son stuck at home not seeing anyone or getting support, I’m stuck 1.5 hours away from him and my elderly dad. Then these rejects who enforced it all are doing this. Are government people just look after themselves, they are oblivious

[kadiangraham]

Disgusting and not surprised you can't trust them

[rbew]

Just remember the elderly lady in the care home getting really upset as she couldn't see her loved ones except through a window. It broke my heart. My blood is boiling with hatred for these treasonous monsters. Treason!!!!

[jb-zrez]

They can say sorry as much as they like but I don’t think I will believe a word of it. The damage has been done. Our trust has been lost.

[jsteere]

Wasn’t there certain TV presenters having birthday dinners with more guests than the rest of us were allowed
