Downing Street party: Dominic Cummings Tweets 'will CABSEC investigation include the flat party on Friday 13th of November' during heated PMQs

In a Tweet following the Prime Minister's questions, former political adviser Dominic Cummings has alleged that there were more breaches of Covid rules.

Cummings called on the Cabinet Secretariat to look into these allegations following Boris Johnson's grilling by Keir Starmer in the House of Commons on the alleged Downing Street party.

Cumming's tweet stated:

"Will the CABSEC also be asked to investigate the *flat* party on Fri 13 Nov, the other flat parties, & the flat's 'bubble' policy...?"

The Tweet alleges that Covid rules were breached multiple times including before Christmas, with reference to Friday the 13th of November specifically.

Boris Johnson has asked the Cabinet Secretary to investigate claims about a Christmas party in Downing Street last year, telling MPs he was “furious” at footage of aides apparently joking about it.

Boris Johnson told MPs: “I understand and share the anger up and down the country at seeing No 10 staff seeming to make light of lockdown measures, and I can understand how infuriating it must be to think that people who have been setting the rules have not been following the rules because I was also furious to see that clip.

“I apologise unreservedly for the offence that it has caused up and down the country and I apologise for the impression that it gives.

“But I repeat that I have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party and that no Covid rules were broken, and that is what I have been repeatedly assured.”

Boris Johnson added: “I have asked the Cabinet Secretary to establish all the facts and to report back as soon as possible – and it goes without saying that if those rules were broken then there will be disciplinary action for all those involved.”
