While Boris Johnson laughs off suggestions he should quit, one woman is taking the fall for the 40-plus people who allegedly attended the party
Take a stroll to your local newsagent today and you’ll see Allegra Stratton’s crying face plastered on near every front cover. The images captured from the advisor’s tearful resignation statement yesterday are all anyone is sharing online, and her name is still topping Google Trends. It’s official: Allegra is the face of the Downing Street Christmas party scandal.
While Allegra Stratton was forming her resignation statement, Boris Johnson was in the House of Commons scoffing at suggestions he should resign. When told it was his time to go by SNP Westminster group leader Ian Blackford, the Prime Minister laughed, stating ‘I will get on with the job. It is very sad that, when the public need clarity, the opposition parties are trying to muddy the waters over events, or non-events, of a year ago.
In fact, the information about Tory lockdown breaches is more relevant now than ever – because as we enter our second Christmas with lockdown rules, anxiety about cases rising and a public less compelled to follow said rules than ever, you have to ask…would any of this be occurring had there not been so many lockdown breaches from his own party members?
According to the Prime Minister's spokesperson, the Cabinet Secretary will only be investigating the one incident of an alleged Christmas party on December 18, despite claims the Prime Minister himself attended a leaving do during the November lockdown where he even gave a speech. The Mirror reports that Number 10 refused to deny said event happened, but confirmed there will be no investigation.
