In December 2020, Conservative activists were filmed attending a “Jingle and Mingle” Christmas party at the Conservative party headquarters in London, in violation of then-active Tier-2 Covid restrictions.

Shaun Bailey, who subsequently received a peerage, had hosted this event during his unsuccessful campaign for Mayor of London; footage reveals attendees dancing and socializing indoors, with one attendee suggesting it was alright to film provided they didn’t broadcast their rule-breaking.

While initially no action was taken against the attendees, including Bailey, the police are now reassessing the situation based on newly provided video footage.

    We all laugh when we see kids filming themselves doing illegal things for TikTok and getting caught but these idiots sent out invites for their illegal event.

    Remember when politics used to attract the best and brightest? Those days are long gone.
