The PM gave a speech at a packed leaving do for a top aide last November when the country was in the grip of its second lockdown.
Then just days before Christmas, with London in tier 3 restrictions, members of PM’s top team held their own festive bash in Downing Street.
Christmas parties very much on people’s minds today... but some mixed messaging.
PM told No 10 presser: “We don’t want people to cancel such events.”
But just hours earlier UKHSA Chief Dr Jenny Harries had urged people to cut back on socialising this festive season.

“He would either turn a blind eye or on some occasions attend himself while everyone else was in lockdown”.
