That Tory HQ lockdown party goes from bad to worse as ‘Jingle and Mingle’ invitations emerge – 19 RSVPs
11.
Ah, I remember that date, as I visited my 88yo mother (not a Tory activist, admittedly, but a Tory voter in every election since 1955) in her care home. She was wheeled into a shed and we spoke for 15 mins via a crackly intercom through a perspex screen. How we jingled & mingled! https://t.co/BRb3isIKB6

So… tens of people had this sitting in their email inbox for the past two years, knowing there was a police investigation into this event, and just sat on it?
A week after this party, people all over the UK had to exchange Christmas presents with their families in car parks. https://t.co/biAVDQpGbW

Even setting aside all the Covid/lockdown stuff, anyone wanting to attend a party dubbed 'Jingle and Mingle' is clearly already in the 'Massive Bellend' category. https://t.co/Lb1HzIGxtR

In case you were wondering whether the Met have reconsidered that evidence threshhold, it looks very much like they have.
This wasn't an impromptu Covid party.
This was organised & illegal.
They sent out "Jingle & Mingle" party invitations to 30 people.
Police say they're now assessing evidence

Met chief Sir Mark Rowley describes ‘Jingle and Mingle’ video as "colourful," saying the clip "tells a story". "I think we can all guess which way it will go," he adds https://t.co/6PUDje6URF
