As you’ll know by now, allegations have been made to ITV News that two birthday celebrations, against Covid rules at that time, were held in Downing Street for the PM’s birthday in 2020.
I’m old enough to remember when Boris Johnson said there were no parties whatsoever in Downing Street

Sue Grey confronted with a bit of a dilemma…

So, when you just sidle over to a Victorian sex worker in the East End in the middle of the night and stop for ten minutes to stab and eviscerate her and then go back to the Palace, this is now called a murder? https://t.co/C4cl6XT21o

Word: Party
Can you use it in a sentence? “After buying a birthday cake, people gathered to sing Happy Birthday, and celebrate with a party during a work day”

Correct. https://t.co/nflWS7XN0R
