The journalist is married to James Forsyth, a political editor of The Spectator magazine. The video brought her bad luck that she had to resign from her post.
She was remorseful and said shedding tears, she would, “regret the remarks for the rest of my days.” During PMQs on Wednesday, Boris Johnson also apologies for the video.
An investigation was set to find out whether rules had been broken. However, Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer said the prime minister fooled the public as there was no detail shared.
Downing Street refused to confirm what had happened at the party on 18th December 2020. The video was taken during a mock press briefing to practice answering the journalists.
Upon the question about the party in Downing Stree “on Friday night,” She jokingly replied, “I went home” before Mr. Oldfield asked if the primes minister would ‘condone’ a party.
She then asked, “What’s the answer?”, others in the room joked saying it was not a party but a “chees and wine.” Nobody knew the joke could be disastrous.
