the good law project who are trying to prosecute for the covid contracts are pushing for a police investigation into the breach of covid restrictions in downing street.
Dear Friend --
In the very building where the rules were being made, they were being broken. No 10 advisors were reportedly having parties. Those closest to Boris Johnson laughed as they practiced how to lie to us about it.
There have been multiple reports from people in attendance that a party of 40 - 50 people took place in the Prime Minister’s own home on 18th December 2020. This would have been a clear breach of the “tier 3” restrictions in place at the time.
Yet - unbelievably - the Met Police claims there isn’t enough evidence to open a criminal investigation. It’s shocking just how much damage to public confidence in policing and the rule of law the top brass at the Met are prepared to do to avoid an embarrassing confrontation with Number 10. It seems the Met have forgotten their role is to investigate crime. We intend to remind them.
Our lawyers have today written to the Met asking them to open an investigation, or if not, to provide the full and detailed reasons behind their refusal to do so. We’re also asking the Met to provide details of its policy ‘not to investigate retrospective breaches of the Covid regulations’, referred to in its statement of 8 December 2021.
If they fail to do this, we will be left with little choice but to consider suing.
Thank you,
Jo Maugham
