New photos have emerged of Boris Johnson apparently toasting with a glass of sparkling wine at a going away party in breach of the lockdown at 10 Downing Street.

The footage, released by ITV News, appears to show a number of people attending a going away party for former communications director No 10 Lee Cain on November 13, 2020.

Mr Johnson holds up a plastic cup, apparently containing white wine and identified by ITV as ‘fizz’.

On a chair is an official red box – used to carry ministers’ papers – and on the table next to it are two bottles of champagne or cava, four bottles of wine and half a bottle of gin. Party cups, cookies, chips and other foods are also seen.

The event took place just eight days after England entered a nationwide lockdown, banning gatherings with people outside your household except for essential business purposes.

A spokesperson for Partygate investigation chief Sue Gray is said to be undecided whether or not the senior official saw the photos before completing her report, which is due to be released within days.

But a No 10 spokesperson said: ‘The Cabinet Office and the Met Police have been given access to all information relevant to their investigations, including photographs. The Met has concluded its investigation and Sue Gray will publish her report in the coming days, at which time the Prime Minister will address Parliament in full.
