Email shows Boris Johnson’s official invited No 10 staff to lockdown ‘BYOB’ party

  1. “The email, from Martin Reynolds, the principal private secretary, invited just over 100 employees in No 10 at a time when social mixing was banned apart from one with other person from another household outdoors.

    (…)

    Johnson’s spokesperson declined to comment in light of an ongoing inquiry into potential breaches of lockdown in Downing Street. No 10 did not deny this weekend that the prime minister and his wife attended the event on 20 May, which is said to have been organised with food and wine set out on tables.”

    All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

  2. They behave like this because they know they’ll get away with it. Let’s be honest, nobody’s surprised. Just Toffs living it up whilst the rest of us suffer. Nothing new there.

  3. So how is this going to be spun? Because when the photo came out we were assured it “business drinks” and some folks came forward to tell us it was nothing out of the ordinary.

    Now it’s a BYOB party (note explicitly a party) for 100 people; how this justifiable?! And if it isn’t when are heads going to roll?

  4. I know this is the least important part of this story, but is anyone else baffled by the whole BYOB angle?

    If I invited my staff for drinks neither at my home or office I would supply drinks. If imagine most would being a bottle , but I wouldn’t ask or expect it.

    So, on top of everything else, miserly too.
