The prime minister has come under pressure over a No 10 event that took place amid Covid restrictions.
Meanwhile, a Conservative Party spokesperson has confirmed four of its staff - who had been seconded to the party's London mayoral campaign - were disciplined following an unauthorised social gathering in one of the party's offices on 14 December last year.
It's not over because there are claims of at least three other gatherings in Downing Street - denied but not fully explained, and one other confirmed. It's not over because the opposition parties have no intention of letting this lie.And it matters, not just because of grisly or embarrassing details of what jokes were cracked or games were played.
Asked about events reported to have happened in Downing Street last year, the prime minister said: "As far as I'm aware, to the best of my knowledge we have followed the rules throughout." However, the clip obtained by ITV News appeared to show Downing Street staff on 22 December rehearsing how to respond to potential questions about a party "on Friday night".
