Deeper and deeper it goes. It is perhaps not the fact of the occasional booze-up in the Downing Street garden, but the never-ending deception, as it is increasingly clear that throughout last year the government was making rules and pronouncements as to how any form of social interaction was strictly forbidden, even at weddings and funerals, enforced by a draconian police force, whilst they were instantly disappearing into the garden for a piss-up by invitation, contravening all their own rules and which the police refuse to investigate because it happened in the past. Heads should surely roll, and it shouldn’t be that of the Prime Minister’s Private Secretary alone, but that of his boss who must, if only tacitly, have authorised it and approved it by showing up with wine and a giant smirk.
