Covid bereaved express disgust at Tory HQ party video as Met ‘considers’ footage

Group calls for police to reopen investigation, and for Shaun Bailey and Ben Mallet to lose honours

A group representing the families of people who died of Covid-19 has expressed its disgust at video purporting to show revellers at the Conservative party headquarters during lockdown, as the police said they were considering" the footage.

The video, which was obtained by the Mirror newspaper, appears to show Tory party workers drinking alcohol and dancing on 14 December 2020 at a gathering held by the campaign team of the unsuccessful London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey.
