A new video shows Conservative officials dancing, drinking and mocking lockdown laws at a Christmas bash during the coronavirus pandemic.
The widely-publicised photo showed Bailey and two dozen or so party staffers and aides raising glasses of wine with a buffet table next to them.
The force investigated the event last year and issued no fines, citing not enough evidence to ‘disprove the version of events provided by attendees’.With no police action taken, this all but cleared the path for Bailey to become a peer, one among a long list of Johnson allies set to join the unelected House of Lords.
To Labour deputy Angela Rayner, the video footage of the get-together was a ‘sickening insult’ to a country still reeling from the years-long pandemic. ‘Revellers at this lockdown Tory booze up openly mocked the rules the British people followed, she said.‘Instead of forcing them to face the consequences, Rishi Sunak has caved into Boris Johnson’s demands and chosen to reward them with honours.
‘This prime minister is failing to deliver the integrity he promised and showing he’s too weak to turn the page on 13 years of Tory scandal.’
