UK PM's office accused of breaching COVID-19 rules to hold Xmas party during lockdown

LONDON, UK- The Conservative Party government of the United Kingdom (UK), led by the controversial Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, continues to demonstrate that they are a law unto themselves, with the latest allegations being that they broke COVID-19 rules when they held a Christmas party at No. 10 last year December when the country was in lockdown and such events were banned.

The party took place at 10 Downing Street, the official office and residence of the UK Prime Minister, on December 18, 2020, and according to the BBC, a source said "several dozen" people attended.

However, Covid restrictions in place at the time banned such events.

The PM, who was not at the party, said no Covid rules were broken but No 10 has not said how party-goers complied.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police has said it does not routinely probe "retrospective breaches" of Covid laws amid calls for an investigation of the No 10 Christmas party held during 2020's restrictions.

Johnson was also allegedly part of rule breaking

The Mirror newspaper, which was the first to report the claims, also said PM Johnson gave a speech at a "packed leaving do" for an aide on November 27, 2020, when the country was in its second lockdown and socialising was banned.

Writing separately to Met Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick on Friday, December 3, 2021, Labour MPs Neil Coyle and Barry Gardiner called for a full investigation into whether or not any laws had been broken.

Sharing his letter on Twitter, Mr Coyle, the MP for Bermondsey and Southwark, in south London, said from reading the guidance, he believed "holding these events was a breach of the rules at the time".

He said: "Like most constituents, I followed the rules and did not see my own dad last Christmas and, sadly, it was to be his last.

"The sense of outrage from constituents is palpable that they followed the rules whilst those responsible for devising and enforcing them were breaching them at the top of government."

'No one is above the law'

Also sharing his correspondence on Twitter, Mr Gardiner, the MP for Brent North, in north-west London, said: "I hope you agree that no-one is above the law and your service needs to maintain public confidence that Covid rules apply equally to all people."

In a statement, the UK's largest police force said it was "aware of widespread reporting" of "alleged breaches of the Health Protection Regulations" at a government building on two dates in November and December.

The Met added it was the force's "policy not to routinely investigate retrospective breaches" of Covid laws but said it would "consider" the letters it had received.

Two days prior to the event, London was plunged into Tier 3 lockdown restrictions, which banned people from mixing indoors with anyone not in their household or support bubble.

People were allowed to gather if it was reasonably necessary for work purposes but that would not have included holding a party.

Ironically, the same UK Government that continues to be accused of breaking the country's rules has, is backing a controversial Commission of Inquiry that had been digging for evidence to find whether the Virgin Islands government had been violating its laws or involved in corruption.

      I want to know where too many of us have gotten this thirst for the blood of our black and brown Brothers and sisters...50 so far in the USVi..thousands in the Caribbean by our own hands,our women use their bodies like toilet tissue...no race of people degrade and destroy themselves worse than the Black race and in these days everyday. We do and continue to do to each other worse than the UK has ever done to us..And always praising and praying before during and after. We are the worse of the worse and have contributed much to our position as scum of the Earth.
