Senior UK government adviser resigns over lockdown Christmas party video

Allegra Stratton has resigned as a UK government adviser after a leaked video showed her trying to defend staff at Number 10 Downing Street who allegedly attended a Christmas party at the height of a Covid-19 lockdown last year. 


Whilst social events were banned at the time, Boris Johnson insists no rules were broken, but the Prime Minister has now promised to investigate the party. 


From London, Benji Hyer reports.
