Staff reveal scale of No.10 parties

DOWNING Street insiders have described chaotic mid-lockdown parties in No 10 which they felt were condoned by Boris Johnson as he "was grabbing a glass for himself"
Staff reveal scale of No.10 parties

 Three anonymous individuals have told the BBC's Panorama in detail what they witnessed at regular rule-breaking events during coronavirus restrictions.

Their evidence will heap further pressure on the Prime Minister ahead of the publication of the Sue Gray inquiry into the "party game", which No 10 expects today.

Party debris was left overnight for people arriving at work the next day to discover after staff crowded together and sat on each other's laps at parties, according to the attendees.

One said they felt they had the permission of the Prime Minister as he was not telling them to break up the scenes when he arrived.

"No, he wasn't telling anybody that. He was grabbing a glass for himself," they said.

Mr. Johnson was already under renewed pressure after images obtained by ITV News showed him raising a glass while surrounded by colleagues and bottles of wine.
