A top No.10 official tasked with investigating these alleged parties has quit after it emerged that one of the parties was in his office.
// The UK's top civil servant has stepped aside from his role leading an inquiry into Downing Street lockdown parties, after it emerged an event was held in his own office.
Simon Case had been due to report on claims Covid rules were broken at events for staff last year.

camelot it is not
camelot - you recollect ( well now you do after I remind you)
was the Court of Pres Jack Kennedy - secrets well kept for fifty y.
Here - like the huge queues for boosters ( Brits voting with their feet) ignored and not reported upon, the ennui of the British Public ( yes ennui dahling) the ennui for the nobs having a good time whilst prescribing / serving up gruel for us proles is - - strong, overwhelming
and so they reach for the emails ....
I can hardly believe that the senior civil servant 'forgot' to add well we had one too, when asked to investigate
perhaps he thought - " well I havent been asked to investigate myself so there is no conflict!"

I haven't counted them but there are several mentioned here - without the puerile sarcasm that is Private Eye. I'm sure there are other reports if you look.

Even the linked Grauniad articles are only up to 5 parties; while this story of is of no interest to Tory supporters, many people might be very annoyed that they could not visit a dying elderly relative or attend a funeral of a loved one (due to social distancing) – whilst our lords & masters were partying away.
Ah, all becomes clear now, you want to start up PartyGate again.
This has been done to death on here and elsewhere. There will be an investigation so maybe wait and see if a) its a whitewash or b) we learn what really happened. Certainly a couple of these seem to be no more than people who were already at work wearing a crappy jumper and playing a quiz. At their desks. That must have been done up and down the country and there really int anything wrong with it apart from being a bit of a daft idea as BiW says.
There's plenty more to bash Boris on so try something else.
