Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley has given a strong hint the force will take action against MPs who attended a Christmas party during the pandemic
Sir Mark implied that action is likely to be taken over the footage.
He added: ‘I think we can all see the colourful nature of the video and how much it tells a story way beyond the original photo.The Met considers various factors when deciding whether to investigate alleged breaches of Covid rules retrospectively. ‘One of the things we’ve taken account of in the past, of course, has been those involved in sort of setting the law and setting the policy being an aggravating feature, for example,’ Sir Mark added.
This comes after Downing Street suggested Boris Johnson’s resignation honours could be reviewed by a special committee if nominees are deemed to have brought the honours system ‘into disrepute’. The event was attended by former London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey and Tory aide Ben Mallet, who were put forward for a peerage and an OBE respectively by the former PM.
