Even from my side of the political fence I agree that, pragmatically, there is little harm when people working cheek by jowl in No10 decant to the garden. The law at the time though prevented social gatherings and when invitees are asked to 'byob' it stops being work.
When I started in the Civil Service in the seventies drinking in the office was fairly common. By the time I left it was close to being banned.
Ms Grey should be allowed to do her job but the idea that her inquiry should determine whether BoJo attended the May 20th gathering was for the birds.
I'm honestly not sure how far the fuss is 'got up by the media'. As Smokie says I think there are people out there who's parent's funerals were tightly restricted who ar (rightly) outraged.
