The Telegraph has an exclusive: Two leaving events for No 10 staff were held on eve of the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, at which Her Majesty was forced to grieve alone due to Covid rules.
Downing Street staff drank alcohol into the early hours at two leaving events the night before Prince Philip’s socially distanced funeral, The Telegraph can reveal.
On the evening of Friday April 16 2021, Britain was in a period of public mourning. Union flags on Government buildings across Westminster hung at half mast to mark the passing of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, the previous week.
With the country in step two of a strict lockdown roadmap, which barred indoor mixing, mourners were told not to leave flowers due to the Covid threat. A book of condolence was set up online to “reduce the risk of transmission” from physical signings.
In a private chapel in Windsor Castle the Prince’s coffin lay overnight. The next day the Queen, her face covered by a black mask, would say farewell to her husband of 73 years. With social distancing rules in force, she sat alone.
The atmosphere in Downing Street that Friday evening, however, was quite different. Advisers and civil servants gathered after work for two separate events to mark the departure of two colleagues.
One was James Slack, Mr Johnson’s director of communications. He had served two Tory prime ministers, a rare carry-over from the Theresa May days, but was leaving after four years to become deputy editor at The Sun newspaper. The other was one of Mr Johnson’s personal photographers.
Eye-witnesses have talked to The Telegraph about what happened. It is alleged that excessive alcohol was drunk, while at points, guests danced. The gatherings stretched late into the night – well beyond midnight, according to one source.
They were, according to one who was there, undeniably parties.
Worth reading in full.
Will this be the final nail in Boris’s coffin? He wasn’t actually present at either of these parties – he’d already left for Chequers – but 30 members of your staff attending a party the day before Prince Philip’s funeral isn’t a good look, with the Queen having to mourn alone thanks to the Tier 2 restrictions. (This was in April, 2021.)
I was fairly bullish about Boris’s survival prospects, but less so now. How many more of these events are going to come to light? Conservative MPs will be worrying that the longer he remains in office, and the more revelations there are about No 10 rule-breaking, the more toxic the Party’s brand will become.

We must ask ourselves who has suddenly decided Boris Johnson must go, and why? I have a nasty feeling his replacement will already have cut a deal with globalist institutions disappointed with Johnson’s recent failure to implement more European-style lockdowns and mandates, etc.
I absolutely agree; But how on earth do you re-frighten the public into accepting these kinds of measures? I’m not usually prone to optimism but I can’t help feeling the game’s up, at least in the UK.
…Which makes the strategy of revealing to the public that those in power were never scared of the virus a decidedly risky one!
In a surreal twist of fate, future Britons may come to regard Bojo as the man who saved Britain (by being a hapless tit)
So maybe a white hat made the revelations. Wishful thinking.

You’re right, and again I suspect that this is an attempt to stop people questioning the rules and direct their anger towards the rule-breakers. The truth would be revealed by analysis of the police logs.
Yes the line is ; “Johnson ought to have been locked down like the rest of us and his irresponsible behaviour and bad example puts us all at risk from the deadly virus”.
The dumb sheep are already sucking this up from the MSM.
Who are the Tories lining up to be the UK’s Jacinda Arden I wonder?
It wouldn’t be Truss by any chance – a woman with a political coat of many varied colours. who in spite of lucky promotions has failed to make any impact of the UK political scene in any capacity. The perfect empty vessel to fill?
That is the risk, but by staying he will certainly put in labour SNP at the next election. If he wants to survive he needs to get rid of all restrictions, but if the story planted in the Dily Mail today is true, he wants to keep facemasks (and his beloved tests and isolation policy). That'[s worth getting rid of him for.
The tests return 97% false positives. That is precisely why they want ti keep them- zero tests equals zero Covid = end of “Emergency”.
They want their fake “Emergency” to last forever as the building block of their New Normal.
I fear you are right. We are in more danger than ever.
I am worried too.
Who is the WEF representative in our government?
Gove?
All of them! But beware Hunt
Risks Not Rules: we must remind all we talk to that it is not about rule breaking but the group with the best knowledge of the facts knew the risk of carrying-on was negligible – that the whole show was a hoax, a beat up, and Mr and Mrs UK were conned, fooled, duped.
Yes, I agree seems this was all held onto until it was the proper time to reveal them, drip, drip.
Seems? Why was it not released the day after footage was captured?
Er….conspiracy?
“When the time is right”?
Who cares anymore. I couldn’t give a sh*t about parties. I only wish people would stop whinging about “rules being broken” and start questioning the rules themselves.
If they weren’t afraid (they obviously weren’t) then why the heck should anyone else be?!
Ah, Animal House….One quote from the film comes to mind here…
“You f-cked up. You trusted us!”
No one will ever admit that the sceptics were right; I can imagine many Guardian reading ex-friends and family trying to make out they had doubts all along !
oh well onwards to the climate emergency takedown!
It’s started. One Australian, Guardian-reading, hipsterish, Berlin-living ex friend of mine, for example, who panned me for conspiracy theories, cheered on the lockdowns, mask mandates and vax rollouts, is subtly rolling back his positions. Expect all these self-satisfied faux lefties to reverse ferret in the next few months, then Polly Toynbee will write an opinion piece with a peacock quill pen and it’ll all be OK again. Give it a year and they will have steadfastly opposed all this nonsense from the start, and what did YOU do? Oh, and by the way, for the price of a cup of coffee, we can all support fierce, free-spirited journalism and fight together to save the planet, rejoin the EU and revolutionise personal pronoun usage, because (only) Black Lives Matter. Amen.
I think we all expected that the Covid Ourobouros would eat its own tail: including its own mouth.
My technical term for these pivoteers is ‘dung beetles’.
Note that no matter where they roll to next, they’ll always be full of crap.
We’ll always know the true resisters by who got jabbed and who didn’t.
We’re too cool for school; let’s not allow their side-switching to ruffle our golden feathers.
By that time, those who did get jabbed will of course suddenly consider their medical status and private and opt not to reveal!
And, like the unjabbed now, it will be obvious what ‘private’ means: except they’ll be on team Adolf until they recant!
The healthy unvaxxed need to know in order to avoid the massive, ‘shedding’ load of pathogenic SARS Cov 2 spike proteins!
Ha ha – the Covid Ourobouros. That’s a great one that I’ll steal with pride, my good Sir or Madam. I salute you!
Common property! Definitely a sir: avatar should still be a clue!
They know we know though…….
I do agree, I get the sense of turning here in the US and when National Public Radio finally turns then all those will be as you said reversing themselves . My husband and I have many dear friends that bought into the hype. I don’t think we will ever hear “you know you were right about this whole thing”. No one can own up to the fact they believed a lie it is too painful. We just have to be happy knowing we didn’t and that Thank God it is finally turning.
The Globalist Corporates control all the Media – they will never turn – Tucker Carson is a close as it will ever get.
As Mark Twain (allegedly) said “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled”
” ‘Guardian’ reading” … therefore irretrievably lost. The tragic decent of the ‘Guardian’ is a metaphor for our sad times.
Yes but the difference between them and you is A) you saw through it early and didn’t get jabbed B) if they saw through it early why did they get jabbed?
The virus they hired behavioural psychologists to scare us with, and they didn’t give a shit about.
That should be the real headline.
Instead, as always with British trash broadsheets, they focus on the royals as much as the tabloids do.
There are no “Broadsheets”, with the connotations of quality implied, any longer – the term is now meaningless.
The ‘Telegraph’ is funded by Gates to advocate his ‘World Health Policies’.(£3.4million).
Your support for Johnson over these months has been as a friend and I applaud your loyalty but it is misplaced Mr Young
Johnson was never fit to be a minister let alone Prime Minister. The Jolly Green Giant was always a liar and a coward…..now he is just pathetic.
As to those concerned at who might replace him I think that is immaterial as far as the big reset goes. They pushed for it too soon and too hard and hiding behind a Virus was always a dodgy strategy.
As more and more people realise they were duped the balance of power will shift back to the people.
What is the logic of your last sentence? The power will stay with the Conservative Party Elite Funding machine and their next choice could well be much worse for us all.
For example Hunt, he was on his feet in the Commons enthusiastically demanding the vaccination of all children even before the pressure was on and even the ‘advisers ‘ were hesitating.
The candidates preferred by ‘the Party” are all malleable zealot Globalists even worse than the arrogant chancer Johnson.
Remember how May was pushed in front as the safe pliable pair of hands to block Brexit?
It is no longer the public face that counts but who is pulling the Globalist strings. – both Schwab and the Chinese and the Trilateral Commission have a very long reach in UK politics.
If only we still had an Opposition Labour Party.
Wonder if Frost was to stand would the 100 members of the party who voted against the vaxx pass back him?????
It would be interesting to see the reports of the police officers on duty at Downing Street:
“Evenin’ Skip, there’s a fackin’ par’y gowin’ on ‘ere, wharram I meant’a do abbaat it?”
“Jas fackin’ ignore it like y’ve bin told constable, no one’s gonna find out. Jas leave it”
In light of what has occurred over the past two years and the rampant corruption and treachery which has been witnessed, I do not think this hive of villainy on display at Westminster is worthy enough to represent the good people of the British Isles.
Therefore I am increasingly coming around to the point of view that Parliament / Westminster should be suspended and all MPs stood down, and I mean all. The whole edifice and institution needs cleaning up and flushing out.
In particular a proper constitution needs to be formulated and which gets the balance right between the governed and the government. At the moment the pendulum of power has swung too sharply towards government and a quasi-dictatorship has taken control. This needs deconstructing and should never been allowed to happen ever again.
2020-2021 will go down as one of the most notorious and shameful episodes in British history. 2022 must be the year those who are responsible for all the misery and chaos are recognised and held to account.
It is deeper thought isn’t it. It’s not just Westminster. It’s all public sector bodies. The NHS should be completely disbanded and returned to local friendly societies who were very successful. The teaching profession needs a good clear out too.
As for the corruption in local councils ……. Then there are the big Unions who are strongly affiliated to EU. The corruption and treachery is endemic in our society. It started with Heath and was pushed through with Blair. Both of whom have now been exposed as bought and paid for globalists/peodophiles.
however, a suspension of all Government might be a good start. The people of this country are more than capable of making their own good decisions. We could follow this up by suspending the payment of taxes to.
o
The NHS Management and the Health Authorities themselves have been the principal agents and perpetrators of the ‘Covid Terror’ with the NHS even being used as the excuse for Lockdowns through the cynical exploitation by politicians of the public’s ( former) deeply sentimental attachment to it
It seems that the intention is now to melt down the NHS and withdraw most of its services in order to allow US Health Corporates full access to the Magic Money Tree, so it will probably implode of its own accord.
After the culling of its most loyal, decent, experienced ,qualified, unvaccinated and caring staff to deliberately worsen the crisis – it doesn’t sound a safe place to visit in any case!
New slogan:
Feeling sick? If in doubt stay safe! Stay at home!”
Yes, we need a root and branch clear out – this monotone gang has voted again and again to give Johnson his Draconian ‘Emergency Powers’ to steal our freedoms and abuse us when there has in truth been no ’emergency ‘- just a “Pseudo Pandemic”.
Sadly there are just not enough decent Tory MPs to make a difference.
Listening to Alison Pearson on Planet Normal the other day indicates this could well be a concerted campaign by the powers keen to impose vax passports, lockdowns etc. on the public for biometric ID control purposes. They see Boris as the impediment – if he goes we are f**ked.
If so, then they planned very badly. All the shenanigans have done is to expose the whole sick farce!
If he doesn’t go, then it would show they can do anything to the plebs and party freely – then we would REALLY be f**ked.
Spot on. Beware the Slimy Gove and the Swamp Dweller Blair.
How he will be able to look the Queen in the eye at his next audience is beyond me.
Still, the knives are out; he’s being repeatedly struck and it’s only a matter of time now.
The interesting questions are:
1.WHO is orchestrating this
2.WHY now
3.WHAT are their objectives
I think the Queen probably tends to look at the floor these days when meeting her “Right Honourable” Ministers.
A distraction, while people are being murdered by the experimental biologicals. Know anyone who has suffered a stroke, heart attack, embolism, sepsis, lung infections or worse, reoccurrence of their cancers, new cancers out of nowhere. I know dozens. Anyone hear about over 270 healthy athletes who have collapsed on the field? Some died. Do your homework guys, ignore the silly distractions.
Indeed! A massive distraction – classic Mafia hit technique to get the plebs to look the wrong way!
“I was fairly bullish about Boris’s survival prospects”
Hmm, yes; we have noticed all the sycophantic comments and articles. Time to get off the sinking ship if you want that gong, Toby!
After all this, and with the evidence plain and clear, you’ve have thought all restrictions would be axed on 26 Jan. But no. Stories evidently planted in Daily Mail and Telegraph suggest masks to stay. Add to that isolation and testing. However, vaccine passports may go, and possibly the NHS vaccine mandate.
Getting restrictions removed by Boris is like getting blood out of a stone. And I do think he’s well beyond salvaging and will put labour into power by staying, unless some other huge event comes along to distract everyone from this.
The most dangerous ones gone though. I can happily ignore masks and T&T, and the more we all do that, brazenly and with a smile, the more we will encourage others to follow suit.
The schools though…they can stop that shit NOW.
Dream on! Be prepared for worse.
No hard evidence of this – the Vax Pass is the principal objective ( in fact the whole purpose of the fake pandemic and the Gene Therapies) required by the Banks the beneficial Corporates and the WEF of their political operatives.
Only then will they really be able to lock down and control the entire populaton – hence their manic pressure to vax every living soul and drive those who resist out of society .
The rolling out of Five G will give them access to even more of our formerly private lives as the work towards the 2030 deadline imposition of Schwab’s ‘New Normal Technocracy’ and his devilish dream of a Transhumanism controlled by cyborgs, vaccines and microchip implants .
If only this were all just the script for a Sci-fi Dystopian movie.
Schwab’s pupil Arden in NZ is their model politician of the future permanent deranged smile as she destroys lives in obedience to the Master .
It drives me insane whenever I hear Boris’ excuses that after work social events were discussing the business of the day.
In which case, where are the minutes, and the records of attendees? Who was the chair of these meetings, where was the agenda? Where are the official invitations?
These are vital instruments of democracy so government isn’t functioning as an unaccountable, opaque body of conspirators.
Of course people will take work home and often discuss issues amongst themselves, that’s a natural function of humanity. But to claim a meeting on official property, of 20 or 30 people is solely devoted to ‘business’, and dismissed as such without official documentation, then heads must roll.
I’ve worked as a civil servant. After work doe’s were confined to the pub to get lashed and forget about work. Bosses were not invited and official premises never used. When I was in business the same was largely true, and rarely included our bosses as we had to tiptoe around what we did and said.
When was I ever allowed to booze whilst working? Never!
However, it’s clear it’s not just Boris who’s playing fast and loose with public trust, it’s the entire political estate, no matter which party we’re talking about……(pun unavoidable).
These people are given privileges none of us are allowed, like bars and restaurants in Westminster. I’ve never had a bar in my workplace in my life, nor do I know anyone who has. Then there’s the second home scandal that blew up a few years ago. I don’t believe for a moment much of that has changed. If MP’s must stay in London for extended periods away from their constituents, then build a block of comfortable one bedroom flats for them. They would, of course, lie empty for much of the time, but isn’t that a cost worth paying so politicians aren’t tempted to game the system and profit from their time in office other than by salary?
So much of this reprehensible rabble are up to no good and it’s only the clumsy ones who are caught.
Get on with your jobs politicians. If you want to go boozing and partying, do it on your own damn time and on your own dime!
I don’t care much about parties. What really matters is why, why, why are people NOT the least bit interested about challenging the basis of the rules themselves.
I’m stunned that the sheep seem beyond regaining the power of positive and individual thought and analysis. They are happy with the rules and regs and seem to own them (how dare you mess about with our rules) and want them to stay forever.
Why are we unable to break through.
It’s very worrying and bodes badly for our future.
More evidence that no-one associated with the government was remotely concerned about catching or transmitting the ‘flu or a cold.
It’s about time that the sheeples still wearing their face nappies realised that this whole episode has been absolute nonsense from the start.
I’m not a violent person, but there are numerous individuals that I would happily see dangling from a rope for their crimes against the population – from infants to the very elderly – of this once free county.
