Email was sent by the PM's Principal Private Secretary Martin Reynolds. 30-40 staff attended, eating picnic food and drinking in the garden.
Less than an hour earlier, Oliver Dowden had told the public at the daily press conference to stick to meeting in pairs outdoors.

Tonight Number 10 aren't denying any of the details of the party.
They simply say they won't comment on the story due to Sue Gray's internal inquiry into the ten or so parties now under investigation.

Pressure on all sorts of people tonight:
1. Martin Reynolds - will he resign?
2. PM - will he give evidence to Gray inquiry, if he hasn't already? Surely.
3. Met Police. They've so far said not enough evidence to investigate - many will think this is it?

Where is the date on this email? Seems to have been redacted for some reason. Suspicious to me.
So the same lovely weather this man was enjoying?

Disgusting .. what kind of action can be taken here against our own govt?
If they continue to be in power they can just keep laughing at us. What more does it take really ..
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself.
