The insider says that there were four teams in one office, each made up of six people. The image was allegedly taken on December 15, the PM flanked by two senior officials dressed in Santa hats and draped in tinsel. For context, on December 25 last year, 459 people died from Covid, while a further 33,828 people were infected. 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?” Related links:
