A video showing Conservative Party workers at a Christmas party during lockdown in 2020 is “terrible” and “completely out of order”, Michael Gove has said.
The Levelling Up Secretary was reacting to the video, obtained by the Mirror, which showed people dancing and drinking at a gathering – ignoring strict social distancing rules imposed by the government at the height of the pandemic.
“The fact this party went ahead is indefensible,” Mr Gove told Sophy Ridge on Sunday.
At least 24 people were reportedly at the party, which took place at Conservative Party headquarters on 14 December 2020.
