Met initially took no action but reopened inquiry after video showed staff drinking alcohol and dancing
The Metropolitan police have recommended 24 fixed-penalty notices be imposed for breaches of Covid rules at a pandemic-era Christmas party held by the campaign team of a Conservative peer.
Officers initially decided to take no action over the December 2020 gathering at the Conservative headquarters (CCHQ), despite a photograph showing the then mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey amid a crowd of apparent revellers – with some holding drinks and standing next to a buffet.
