Bring Your Own Booze Party

Another day and another leaked report of a Party at Number 10 while prosecuting the rest of us for it, this time an email on 20 May 2020 to 'make the most of the lovely weather' and 'bring your own booze' for a knees-up for in the garden of Downing Street for 100 of Boris's closest friends.
The email was sent 55 minutes after the end of the live televised coronavirus briefing when Oliver Dowden reminded people they were only allowed to meet one other person from outside their household, as long as it was an outdoor public place and two-metre social distancing was maintained but it is believed that around 40 staff ultimately attended the event that evening, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife, Carrie, showing up, according to eyewitness reports.
Senior civil servant Sue Gray is currently investigating other alleged lock-down breaches by the government so this is another one to add to the list along with the May 2020 'wine and a cheeseboard' party, the November staff members gathering and the November leaving party for a No 10 aide and the December Christmas Quiz for No 10 staff and the one that started it all on 18th December which Johnson vehemently denied happening until a video emerged of his press secretary Allegra Stratton joking about it.
Johnson now has the line that 'we must wait for the inquiry to do it's job' to brush it all under the carpet for now but at some point he will find out that a potential 100-person boozy gathering while telling people to watch their family members die on an iPad then buried them with only six mourners at graveside funerals was not a wise move.
