The Leader of the Opposition, Pippa Girstam

As millions of people were locked down last year, was a Christmas party thrown in Downing Street for dozens of people on December 18th? Pippa can't believe it. A flat-out denial is almost unheard of in politics and politicians only do it when they're on very solid ground. If a formal party had taken place, then of course it would be wrong. But these reports are based on unsubstantiated anonymous claims. She's accusing the Prime Minister of breaking his own lockdown rules. Her mind races as doubt begins to creep in. Could she have missed something?
