Bereaved families who lost loved ones in the pandemic accused Tory aides captured dancing around in the video as "dancing on the graves of those who died". He tweeted: "I gave a speech to my team to thank them... it was a serious error of judgment at a time when Londoners were making immense sacrifices to keep us all safe and I regret it wholeheartedly."

Mr Mallet, filmed holding a glass of red wine and wearing festive braces, was the Tories' campaign director for the 2021 London mayoral election.
