Clip from December:

How many "donors to the Labour Party" in receipt of Covid contracts can @MattHancock name, do you think?

We can name at least 15 donor-linked firms that were awarded, and a further 15 with non-financial ties to the Conservatives and government.

Lord Feldman, a fellow Conservative peer working for DHSC as an unpaid advisor, referred SG through the now-infamous "VIP lane", which fast-tracked referrals from the offices of ministers:
He's the 2nd Tory peer facing investigation for potential rule breaches involving the VIP lane, following an investigation launched against Baroness Mone.

🚨Labour has called for an investigation into leaked texts that indicate there was a SECOND rule-breaking birthday party, on 19 June.

This is one that didn't make it into the Sue Gray report.
theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
The report itself focused on 8 events, during which 83 people received 126 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs), and included details of raucous consumption, altercations, and abuse of cleaning staff:

Here we go. First extracts from #SueGrayReport are out.
Damning.
The document contains further images which evidence yet more instances of rule-breaking at some of the 16 events within scope (4 of which didn't meet the threshold for the Met Police investigation):
