Watch: Tory MP ridiculed for trying to defend No 10 party – best reactions

"Watch the Tory Christmas Shindig go from following the guidance to being an “event” to merely being a rumour in less than a minute," wrote James Felton.

The Metropolitan Police have said they are considering complaints from Labour MPs that Boris Johnson and his No 10 staff held Christmas parties in breach of Covid regulations.

Labour backbenchers Neil Coyle and Barry Gardiner have each written to Scotland Yard asking police to investigate reports that two parties were held in the run-up to last Christmas at a time when such gatherings were banned.

Mr Johnson has not denied the events took place but said no rules were broken – although he has repeatedly refused to explain how that could be the case.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said that while it did not routinely investigate “retrospective” breaches of the Covid regulations, it was considering the correspondence it had received.

Tory MP

Well on Question Time vaccines minister Maggie Throup he a go at defending the party, or was there even a party?

For once the entire QT audience seemed to agree that her response wasn’t good enough, so she had another go, and it wasn’t much better…

Fellow panel member, Labour’s Thagnam Debbonaire, was so exasperated that she put her head in her hands, that is how bad it was.

Not even Fiona Bruce is buying the Tory MP lies today!

Maggie Throup is an absolute disgrace, admits she wasn’t invited to the party & insisted guidance was followed

Will the Tories ever give my constituents in Coventry a straight answer?

No.

Will the Tories continue to believe it’s one rule for them, and another for everyone else?

Yes. https://t.co/h9lKhZgPIr

Seriously. This performance from Maggie Throup is unbelievable.

Absolutely out of her depth.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
