Woking’s MP needs to take action on Number 10 Christmas party
After seeing the ITV video which shows Downing Street staff laughing last year about a Christmas party, Lib Dem Councillor Will Forster has called on Woking's MP asking him to condemn Boris Johnson's behaviour and apologise on behalf of their party. Lib Dem Spokesperson for Woking, Councillor Will Forster, said: "Boris Johnson's Conservative party is taking this country for fools. People in this area will see right through his poor excuses and evasive answers. I hope Jonathan Lord condemns this." "People in Woking spent their Christmas away from loved ones, and sadly too many, lost family and friends to this awful virus. At a time of great sacrifice when the pandemic was at it's worst, it is disgraceful to think that people in Downing Street were laughing about holding a Christmas party." "I think enough is enough. This Government must be held accountable to an inquiry into all their rule breaking; from Barnard Castle to this latest episode. It cannot be one rule for them and another for the rest of us."
