- A couple of hours before the prime minister’s announcement, Allegra Stratton emerged tearfully from her London home, saying she was resigning her government job and offering her "profound apologies" for appearing to make light of Covid rules.

But some opposition MPs say the prime minister should take responsibility himself, while Labour accused him of "taking the public for fools".

Complete BS
LoL
Is Stratton upset for the behaviour, or for being caught out. The admissions, resignation and apologies seem to come only when the wriggle room is fully expired
There seems to be infinite wiggle room for this PM
Sorry for being caught out
Michael Reid.
Unfortunately, many half-wits will believe her statement of apology and feel sorry for her.
migrants getting in
She's just upset she's off the gravy train 🚂
The general public were getting fined for having gatherings, The Prime Minister said he wasn't aware of this gathering at No 10.... Ignorance is no defence in law.
It was in his house as well...

Doris was too sloshed at the party to remember anything the next day (and he was the one that organized it)!
@@joanneward6746with police on the door, letting them in, all complicit.....
I thought Johnson lived there !
@@nigelhopkinson6614 yes, Pinocchio Johnson “lives it up” there.
The only thing Boris is sorry about is that he got caught...
Congrats to the government for booting out the one person who didn't actually attend their drinks bash. Time to go, Johnson.
Cinderball.
The government did not do it for the people, you naive fool!
I'll try no to be rude . What a bunch of wankers
She was still complicit.
@@marcuscoquer5958 No doubt, but she's not the one who put the party together. Why isn't Johnson the one resigning?
@@cinderball1135 I agree. But every single MP who was there needs to own up to it. And I also think they should either resign or let their constituents decide their futures.
Family's kept apart for 6 months +
And they were partying an mocking us. Unbelievable this in 80k jobs mock us so much. Sickening
You can make a change
80k and the rest
Exactly...I know someone who did not get to see their parent at christmas due to the so called rules and that parent passed away soon in to the new year. Its absolutely disgusting and the public have been made an absolute fool of!
Think it was closer to 120k 😂🤦♀️
@@fatlatte1671 are you like 8 years old? Who cares about christmas and not partying for six months … it was about saving lives not just a dinner with your drunk uncle or a lame new years eve, kid!
Funny how Boris has suddenly taken to wearing a mask to leave Downing Street when he didn't even wear one whilst he was visiting a hospital recently.
😂 They’re ironically transparent
That was down to the hospital allowing him into the hospitals without a mask. Shame on them who allowed it
I honestly can't believe it took a party, for people to wake up , seriously, think about that .
Totally agree!!! It's a very British response and we need to look closer at our own culture whilst dissecting the quality of our leadership. This government have been allowed to murder 100s of 1000s of people, force millions into poverty, waste billions of £s on questionable contracts, undermine workers rights and human rights left, right and centre; but they dare to have a p*** up when the rest of us can't and suddenly they've crossed the line 🙄
The only thing shes sorry about is that she was caught out , or maybe thats a bit harsh she seemed to have a little remorse not like Johnson himself, he's at fault really
Could not agree more. However, I still say she is crying crocodile tears because she was caught out.
Her apology is what an apology should look like.
You could easily argue that she's only sorry now she's been caught out...
But regardless...
Compare her resignation/apology to what was said by Jacob Rees-Mogg or Boris Johnson on the matter.
Sean Fallon.
You naive fool, she's not feeling "remorse"; she is only crying for herself for getting caught out and losing her position.
@@redblade8160 Crying for her lost paychecks.
@@anon.4840 Completely false? Strange basis for an apology...👍
When you've been caught, you don"t "offer" your resignation. You simply resign.
Wrong, your given your P45
@@PIPERJIM2024 Not if you're a Tory parasite
@Thomas Hobbs-Allen No, it's not the same thing. Many have often "offered" their resignations - in hopes it would get rejected - and often, their superior has rejected it. So in the end, they end up keeping their job. But someone who resigns without offering it, really is terminating their employment. "Offering" is just a lame way of trying to keep your job. When Theresa May resigned,
Everyone in that room should go not just her. She can't be the fall person for them all.
She is a seasoned journalist yet she is asking the paps to "stop." Nothing more satisfying than watching the worm turn
👏
The paps have nothing to do with real journalism.
Are we to believe Sratton has been a tortured soul for the last year, rather than crying for herself having been exposed?
gav2759.
I've found one foolish poster on here called "Sean Fallon" that thinks she is truly sorry!
Hahah
Her half arsed apologies aren't going to give people back the chance to hug there loved ones one last time, I hope the entire conservative party have to deal with these families alone one day I know it won't happen but it infuriates me that they will never get the punishments they deserve
She I upset she has lost a nice cushie little job
We all know Boris was dancing on the table with a drink in each hand.
Gu
My phone n
I could so picture it in my head with his static wig like mop head hair all over his face lol
Well done ITV and Channel 4 for great coverage on this. She resigned in tears, tears only because she got found exposed.
This performance was acting at it's finest.Give her an Olivier Award.
If she was truly sorry she had an opportunity to tell the truth that there was a party in her statement, instead she went in about how great she was at COP (unbelievable) crying because she’s feeling humiliated and she knows we’ll only ever remember Allegra Stratton for THAT video, I got some small pleasure from seeing her humiliated actually but it’s Bozo we want to resign and we won’t be distracted by Plan Bs etc etc, we won’t forget or forgive this one……
Bunch of narcissistic sociopaths, she probably feels she’s being attacked and not the fact she screwed up
I wish this were true, but come the next election they'll be voted in again and won't be long till people are looking at "good old Boris" with his silly hair and outrageous antics and smiling at what a good bloke he is.
Save the crocodile tears. She probably went back in for another giggle
Phil do you have a great relationship with your mother????
This Johnson enabler sheds crocodile tears only because she got caught, otherwise she'd still be laughing at the stupid plebs that keep voting for them.
@@bettyboossister3918 Oh dear, there's always that stupid wage slave who just love's their abuser's. Get real, this enabler of Johnson's regime would still be laughing her head off at the stupid plebs who still support workers most dangerous enemies.
@@factstrumpprejudice6740 Don't be so pathetic...I know what she did that doesn't mean I agree...or have her on her pedalstool...I understand that people make mistakes and forgive...However there is ALWAYS people like YOU who are filled with so much hate anger and bitterness and just LOVE to jump on the bullying band wagon...So why don't you stop stiring and jump on to your broom after you have covered your warts and SCROLL OFF....😏😏😏
@@bettyboossister3918 you clearly never have.
Crocodile tears
Sorry will never be enough !! I haven’t been able to see 6 relatives who died during the lockdown !
Pure evil !
...they're liars and cowards, recall Boris NOW...
No ! Channel 4 would be very boring ! 😆
The most worrying point that seems to be missed is that no one in the video or at the 'parties' was SCARED. Scared, as the rest of the public were, about a virus so virulent that you couldnt be close to anyone without fear for your own life. So what information did they withold that the British public were not made aware of? And for that matter, who are the other people sitting around so close to one another in the video, their faces screened? What right to anonymity should be afforded to them? Were they also part of the MSM?
And you wonder why the people are angry!!
And the winer The award for crying on cue goes to Allegra Stratton
I didn’t see any emotion from her when was was disgracing the BBC with her propaganda!
I have no sympathy for allegra stratton, it's not as if she has to sign on to universal credit, she will take a nice break now over christmas and she will be back in a nice cushy job in the new year.
Asks if the press can stop taking the pictures prior to making her speech. This is the same press you have fawned over to deliver the 'message' you sought. You allowed such an environment to exist. Yes, it is distressing to see someone so upset. However, it really is of your own making. In saying that, the main protagonist still has their job. There is clearly a lot of fervour at present but the same press - especially Tory leaning - have almost been forced to run this on their front pages. For reasons unknown, the PM has been Teflon for too long. Here's hoping the non-stick has run its course.
@@lovepeaceandrespect8808 She’s dirty beyond belief if you do a little digging, not a nice person at all …
We've known since Dominic Cumming's went on tour with Covid that it's one rule for them, and one for the rest of us.
Not laughing now, is she?
Shame on such government. People lost loved ones and were locked for more than a year n they had their jokes and parties and only rules and laws on civilians. Shame on all of you. So sickening and know one can even breathe unless they permit it. People live is a game of authority to these weakling
My sympathy is towards the healthcare worker that suffer under the Tory death cult und have to pick up the pieces of their disaster capitalist oligarchy!
"as the PM orders an inquiry into downing St"
An inquiry into your own home😂 yikes! 🤣
They will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.
Can anyone see any actual tears on Allegra Straton's face while allegedly crying to camera? Let's just recognise that she knew it was laughing in the face of the bereaved but did it anyway.
The Boris Johnson school of couldn't give a toss.
There’s no tears or regret, check her history - a rotten woman indeed.
If she wants to do the right thing, then she needs to release to the public the truth! But she is a tory... Never gonna happen.
Well we can see the truth. Clearly. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL
"I'm sorry that the public has got the impression that Downing Street staff take the pandemic less than seriously..."
No Prime Minister. The impression that we've all got is that you held a big sod-off booze-up for your mates during lockdown! *That's* why we're offended!
.. or maybe there was no pandemic?
@@lovepeaceandrespect8808.. the public is the problem.. and thank you..
@@imemine6494 ... or maybe there IS an ongoing pandemic and nonsense conspiracy theories won't change that. 😉
@@cinderball1135.. or maybe people are paying attention to the MSM.. and nothing else.. is that you cinders???
And laughed about it as they practiced how to spin it IF caught!
He had no knowledge of a party going on in his own home? Sure he did.
He was comedy out in his bathroom again . 😆
What irritates me the most it that she knows she will still have a well enough wage to live despite her resignation i am far beyond disappointed, angry and perplexed im exhausted
Man, this sh$%show just won't quit.
Oh boo hoo! You made your bed now lie in it. Anyone who was fined for breaking the rules should be refunded after this level of abject hypocrisy.
I can’t watch that mock press conference. She makes me sick watching her laugh and joke. I haven’t lost anyone close but I would imagine it’s gut wrenching to watch this. How dare she. Who do they think they are. ?
This won’t stop me abiding by the covid rules because of those idiots. Two wrongs don’t make a right. It just makes me less likely to support this government in general.
I see a peerage in Allegra's future.
Wiki her career and friends and that’s almost assured.
@@mikehutchison4892 Indeed so.
Scripted theatre.
What I want to know is why has this footage only surfaced now? This was a year ago, someone has been sitting on it. It should have been released when it happened. What was the motive behind that? We should have had this information then when we were doing what we could to mitigate the toll of this awful disease.
This is a kick in the teeth to the families of relatives who died alone without the comfort of having their family with them, leaving them traumatised knowing that they could not be there with them in their final hours, not just patients who sadly died of COVID but of all illnesses.
The lead up to Xmas party season, just as the government announces new restrictions does seem like the most embarrassing time for it to come out. Not saying its right to wait til then, but i expect that's the reason.
Also it's surfacing, while revealing some basic low level tory dumbfuckery, is likely to have a serious negative impact on public sense(and therein public health) around the pandemic, and a year ago, we did not have a mostly vaccinated population taking some of the burden off of the strangled NHS.
Don't blame a whistle-blower, they only need encouraged to release more of this.
Why don't they film the Conservative Christmas party and put it on BBC on Christmas Day evening, then we could all sit in lockdown in our bubbles, unable to visit family and friends, but we could watch the Queen speaking sense to us, and the Tories having a knees up a 'business meeting' Christmas party.
Having seen her disgusting twisted interview with a single parent mother while working for the BBC her lack of real apology and morals doesn’t surprise me.
Laughing about partying when the public are stopped seeing relatives who are dying in hospital…..could you really trust politicians ever again……what is it that they know that we don’t….one things for sure, WE ARE BEING LIED TO OVER AND OVER AGAIN
That one subject … not seeing / sending off loved ones… not allowed to send flowers … wtf. This makes me want to slap her and naturally I am not a volatile person….. sadness in my heart for everyone who lost a loved one and could not be there for them in hospital. Flowers, grapes and loved ones around……. These supposedly government people will have no place to go ….. no one will ever forgive this travesty against our natural right to live and love
How humble she was after the casual, dismissive way she explained her distain for the plebs her "kind" like to lord over, in support of the natural order of things, the British class system. F... them all.
The unfairness of life will be a new topic of discussion for Allegra’s next dinner party ! Will make a change from house prices and school fees.
And their new 4x4
Won't make a difference at the voting station.
Unfortunately, as far as the vast majority of the Tory voter base is concerned, Johnson can do no wrong. Tories will stay in power and his voters, like his MPs, will ride the train until the end of the line.
“Like any big office, there’s no way to know everything that goes on”.
But the manager/prime minister is ultimately responsible for this. Especially if the manager is saying for the customers to jump through stupid, unreasonable hoops whilst being mocked.
When she confirms that it was not socially distant, while giggling like a schoolgirl, I think that she was recalling getting double teamed over the number 10 dining room table.
I no longer know whether to laugh or cry at this pathetic performance of this woman ...
The UK citizens just need to ignore the mandates and get on with life - seems to work for the politicians !!
She's crying for herself this country deserves so much better than this ridiculous government
No tears, just act and lies!
Smoke and mirrors to get the new justice bill through without scruitny.
Crocodile tears 😭
Nice Fairisle knitted jumper though
I have to ask her where she got it as my wife wants one for Christmas present 🎁
Her tears bring me tears of joy!

wonder what job she will get next from her city friends , probably something high paid
I am sure he didn’t notice a party going on downstairs in his own house 🤥
Classic reverse psychological propaganda.
Man alive this is our government!
Unreal 😕
The entire lying Tory cabinet MUST GO:
Allegra is being made the Tories PATSY, she is the ‘Lee Harvey Oswald’ of the Tories “Xmas Party” Conspiracy
@3:06…. Tears of just losing a wonderful wage for a moment of stupidity !!
How can anyone take this seriously anymore.?
You'd need to have a heart of stone not to laugh. She is genuinely sorry she was caught out!
Where's the actual party video? I can't seem to find it. Were they not all in the same work bubble anyway?
Allegra, I think you should've used some onions to bring out those tears. Such terrible acting..
Liars in public office! Everywhere!
"I'm sorry I got caught, now I have to pretend to be upset, now go away ya mugs and enjoy your pointless lockdowns"
she didn't cry because of the shame, she cried because she lost a well-paid job
she is upset about losing her £125,000 a year job
Hilarious that she was once on the staff at the august newspaper of record, The Guardian.
Will they be putting on a party for her as she is leaving?
Sorry is not enough it's gone to far and they know it.words cannot express how i feel. it's one rule for them and another rule for us.
Apologies not accepted.
Boris’s apology DOES’T cut mustard. Boris please GO!
The PM will just follow his pal, Trump's, playbook. Deny it all as fake, even though it is all on video. He had to know there was a party. Saying anything else is illogical, but that's the way it is in politics.
She’s putting her white woman tears to good use
Tears are tears....GROW UP
She was a the worst! Her tears should bring us joy!
Not laughing now. Now it’s our turn.😂😂😂
Tears, the favourite weapon of insincere, manipulative women. I could hardly hear her spinnery with all of that sniffing and snivelling..
Her tears bring me joy!
It wasn't just her by herself at this party. So I'm confused why she's the one who has to resign??
i doubt any of the attendees will suffer any major consequenses from this unlike the public who were fined left right and center for supposedly breaking rules.
I took a screenshot of allegre crying and it'll now be my wallpaper
Not quite the calibre of people we really want to fund, laughing in our face as they take the money we pay to them. Appalling judgement, no room for errors there. Frightening situation as they work against us, the majority.
So i can go into drug dealing, have my mates around and have a house party. And turn to police and say oh no no no, this is a business meeting
One rule for them another for the rest of us
One rule for them ! Another for us
I'm quite surprised this made the mainstream media without censorship. These hypocrites have lost all credibility now
Crocodile tears from Stratton. She's upset she got caught
She's not effing laughing now.
Kier Starmer is so unfathomably weak as a leader, asking for an apology there ffs, no better chance than that to demand accountability
We can be led by liars .
Can they all resign.
They should have some time in prison. If only to send out a message to the next lot that this level of incompetence will not stand
I remember her vividly on newsnight years ago aroud 2012 being a mouth piece for the unneeded nasty austerity her Tory friends were beginning to inflict on the poor.
