I’d rather Parliament concentrate on running country, inflation going sky high, gas and Electric to at least double in price later this year, housing unaffordable if there is any available, roads full of pot holes, Covid still lingering, Russia maybe about to invade, etc etc, all seems far more important than worrying about was it a party or a work do, I know loads of people that broke actual Covid rules, I would imagine most people did in one way or another agree. Sick to death of hearing about the bloody things.
And the hypocrisy is astounding. 2 years ago people were calling for Dominic Cummings’ head on a block, now he’s being haled as some kind of paragon of truth and integrity.
And let’s not pretend that this stuff has only just emerged. The media were well aware of the Christmas parties last year, but it suited their agenda not to publish the information then because they didn’t agree with people celebrating over Christmas and knew that if they published the fact there had been a Downing Street party people would have been less likely to stay at home.
This year the media were against any restrictions so oh look, suddenly the pictures emerged.
In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if the Sue Grey report has already been seen by the press but they have decided not to publish it, and will instead leak it a bit at a time.
The government have much to answer for, but the press have been utterly reprehensible

When you say 'the media' do you mean to say that The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Spectator, Private Eye, Sky News, The BBC, GB News and LBC, etc. etc. all got together and agreed to all withhold information because they unanimously felt people should not celebrate over Christmas. And now they (meaning every single person who works at these establishments in every capacity) are all in agreement that they're against restrictions, so they're publishing it? Do you really believe that makes any rational sense or would even be feasible?
