The woman who led the Government unit tasked with drawing up Covid-19 restrictions was thrown a “boozy” leaving party during the Christmas lockdown, it can be disclosed.

The revelation comes after No 10 was forced to issue an apology to the Queen on Friday, after this newspaper revealed that two parties were held in Downing Street the night before the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

Don't believe for a moment that this nonsense does not go on in DC. One of the hardest governance problems that will face a new administration is ratchetting out the COVID bureaucrats who ratchetted themselves in to federal service. Of course none of them are competent to do anything which is why they took those jobs and how they got them.
The investigation uncovered the startling fact that Josephs is a Democrat.
