The Metropolitan Police is reopening an investigation into breaches of Covid regulations at a Christmas gathering at Conservative Party HQ. A video of the event, where aides were invited to “Jingle and mingle”, was published by the Sunday Mirror. Police say they will not investigate alleged gatherings at the prime minister’s country home, Chequers, when Boris Johnson was PM. But they are also now investigating an event in Parliament on 8 December 2020. Conservative MP Virginia Crosbie issued an apology for attending the event while Covid restrictions were in place. The Ynys Mon MP confirmed the event took place but said she had not sent out any invitations. The Met police investigated the December 2020 party at Tory HQ last year, after a picture emerged showing former London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey and Tory aides raising glasses besides buffet food, when indoor socialising was banned in the area. The Met Police and Thames Valley Police said they would not launch an investigation into potential rule-breaking between June 2020 and May 2021 at Downing Street and Chequers. Thames Valley police were looking into visits by Mr Johnson’s family and friends to Chequers - the prime minister’s country house in Buckinghamshire - during the pandemic.
