At the time, London was under Tier 2 regulations, and therefore social mixing between households was banned.
Similarly, official guidance also stated: “You must not have a work Christmas lunch or party, where that is a primarily social activity and is not otherwise permitted by the rules in your tier.”
Johnson, who also gave a bronze pin of the number 10 door as a gift, allegedly quizzed: “At her press conference, how many Covid tests did Priti Patel say had been conducted?”
