Police reopening investigation and launch fresh probe into partygate allegations

The Metropolitan Police have reopened one of their Partygate investigations and launched a fresh probe.

In a press release, the force said: “The Met is now re-opening an investigation into potential breaches of the regulations at an event in Matthew Parker Street on 14 December 2020.”

That December date is the same day that footage was taken showing workers on Shaun Bailey’s 2021 London mayoral campaign dancing and mingling while the capital was in Tier 2 of COVID restrictions.

They added: “Following assessment of material relating to a gathering in Parliament, the Met is opening an investigation into potential breaches of the Regulations at an event on 8 December 2020.”
