No 10 Christmas party denials continue - BBC News

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesperson has insisted "there was not a party" at 10 Downing Street last December, and the government has said no Covid guidelines were broken.

But a source has told the BBC that "several dozen" people attended a party on 18 December last year.

Ros Atkins investigates the gap between government assurances and available evidence.

Ridiculous. “It’s okay, it was a formal party”. Absolute traitors!

[TheSagaris]

Cannot believe a large chunk of the country voted bojo in. It’s insane to me.

[robgau]

Just look at their faces. They know they're busted. They're not good liars. Bad poker faces.

[Moccason]

Does that answer your question?
Crowd: *“.. No”*
That cracked me up 😂

[isaacr]

Borris is a master at getting out of tight corners. Once & for all he and others in government shouldn’t be allowed to get away with breaking the laws they set!!

[andrewmurray]

All charges should be dropped against people who held illegal parties following the no 10 festive party not unless the police are willing to prosecute all persons present at the no 10 xmas party

[lukeswan]

If anyone can fuck up two years in a row it's Boris

[moshimoshi]

Is anyone surprised? They do what they want always.

There is no guess work here. You may remember they also got in trouble for allowing the Bar in Parliament to remain open at the start of 2020 lockdown. You’re all being treated like slags while you do exactly as you’re told.

[malcolm]

When did lying become so normalised in parliament. These people need to be brought to account or nothing will change

[kahuna]

It's Orwellian double think, they are saying "no rules were broken, if there was a party, all guidance was followed" which translates in double think to "No rules were broken, if rules were broken then no rules were broken". It's just stupid and shows how utterly ridiculous our government are

[Guesswhokk]

Government wrote the rule, yet still manage to break them.

Dear fellow Brits, we have spent months locked in the house and were banned from all forms of socializing. We were not allowed to sit on the bench until April.
I am not in the position to vote as I have EU citizenship, but are we going to allow this kind of disrespect and pretend like it didn’t happen? Please do something for the sake of every decent person who lives in the UK and should not tolerate this kind of circus anymore!

[willsmith]

My neighbour is a taxi driver and often picks Boris up from the pub absolutley blind drunk. Boris loves a good party

[Charlie-r]

Don’t know why they just don’t admit it, they’ve been laughing at the public for nearly 2 years and the public still seem to worship the state 🤷🏻‍♂️

Consistent behavior patterns in sociopaths include:

Lack of empathy for others
Impulsive behavior
Attempting to control others with threats or aggression
Using intelligence, charm, or charisma to manipulate others
Not learning from mistakes or punishment
Lying for personal gain
Generally superficial relationships

Sound familiar

[barmyneddy]

One rule for them, another for the rest of us. Nothing new here.

[blancau]

Wow, how can people STILL go along with this? Betcha this hasn't been the only party they've been in

[ThyharryA]

This is outrageous someone in this position with so much power has broken to many rules for him not to be sacked as prime minister is utterly disgusting

[SANTIAGO]

I voted Tory....I am ashamed I did.
Never again ever in my life.
