A Senior official urged staff to leave Number 10 through the back door on the night Boris Johnson hosted a Downing Street quiz last Christmas in apparent breach of lockdown rules.
And an email seen by the Mirror shows organisers had planned days in advance for some staff to enjoy the quiz in person, from the office.
The Mirror revealed on Sunday that the Prime Minister had helped host the quiz – and that some staff had spent the evening huddling and conferring around their office computers rather than dialling in from home.
Sources said staff had knocked back fizz, wine and beer – and some stayed in Number 10 socialising and drinking for hours after the quiz finished at 9.30pm.
London was then under Tier 2 regulations banning any social mixing between households.
Official guidance also stated: “You must not have a work Christmas lunch or party, where that is a primarily social activity and is not otherwise permitted by the rules in your tier.”
Number 10 has insisted the event, held on December 15 2020, was a “virtual quiz”, but admitted “those who were in the office for work may have attended virtually from their desks.”

Rumors in the MSM seem to be indicating a return to pre-vaccine policies of travel restrictions and gathering size limits here in the socialist north.
It would be fitting to see Doug Ford host a quiz night with questions such as, “If the vaxx passport system was so great, why are we abandoning it?”
I won’t be going along with any social restrictions at all.

auto ‘get vaxxed’!
I hope everyone reads the related article linked to. It will make sense of most everything that has occurred since April 2020!!!
The ruling class does not have to obey the rules they make for the commoners. They made an effort for a few decades but it interfered with their lifestyle and didn’t mesh with their sense of importance.
this turn of phrase from aceofspades is golden:
“So it is time to tell the brainwashed left that the war with Oceania is over, and it’s time to resume the war with the country we’ve always been at war with, Eurasia.”
