To borrow these immortal words from twitter: "I believed implicitly that this was a work event."
In the interest of balance, Keir's attempt to label this a "boozy party" is quite obviously a tactic. The photos I saw showed a few tables of 3-4 people dotted about, having a glass of wine. If you think of a "boozy party" involving Tories you picture roast pigs, white powder and someone getting buggered in the bushes. It's not like it ended with them doing the conga with their trousers round their ankles... about the ****est party I've ever seen
None of this matters though, it's clearly utterly against the spirit of the rules regardless if you can wheedle your way out on a technicality. Nobody has a leg to stand on.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I would imagine many of us here have done things along these lines, albeit probably with a handful of people rather than 30-100. But you just can't be so dumb as a government as to do it so openly. If Boris and Hancock had a couple of drinks after work discussing matters of the day then realistically, fine. But don't invite 100 people "because they've been working so hard" when everyone else's only interaction with each other is when they stood on their doorsteps banging pans for the NHSOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
