.@DominicRaab to @BBCr4today: "Those staff would have been working under gruelling conditions."

Also from Lobby briefing:

No.10: “Downing Street is also a private residence. It’s effectively her garden so she’s able to use it whenever she wishes."

Why are staff drinking wine at a work meeting?
No.10: “It was not against the regulations to have a drink for those individuals who are outside, outside working hours.”

As the Cabinet meets today to discuss an 'update' on Covid, govt defences of the No10 "garden gathering" look like thin gruel indeed.
