Prime Minister Accused of Breaking Lockdown Rules Last Christmas
Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie have been accused of breaking lockdown rules last Christmas by allowing a friend to stay at Number 10 while other Londoners were told not to meet up with different households. The Mail has the story.
The Prime Minister denied claims in the U.S. Harper’s Magazine that political campaigner Nimco Ali “spent Christmas with the couple at Number 10 despite pandemic restrictions on holiday gatherings”.
The article also said that Mrs. Johnson “modelled” her wardrobe and public image on the Duchess of Cambridge, but is “bitter” that the duchess gets better publicity.
Spokesmen for the Prime Minister and Mrs. Johnson said both claims were untrue.
The 4,500-word profile of the couple says Mrs. Johnson has “assembled an impressive court around her” while the PM is a “lonely figure” and “quite scared” of her. …
The Harper’s article is written by Lara Prendergast, Executive Editor of the Spectator magazine, edited by Mr. Johnson before he entered politics and which has strong links to Downing Street.
In the piece she describes how she put her claims over the Christmas gathering to Number 10. She says that a spokesman told her “the Prime Minister and Mrs. Johnson follow coronavirus rules at all times” – but did not deny the claim.
She adds that Miss Ali, godmother to the Johnsons’ son Wilfred, “did not respond to repeated requests for comment”.
Last Christmas, London was under ‘Tier Four’ restrictions, meaning people should not have mixed with anyone outside their households, except in support and childcare bubbles.

The Duchess gets better publicity because she doesn’t look like a horse – clothes horse or otherwise
The Duchess also knows she is unelected.
Incase you haven’t noticed, every leader of every country has broken their own rules! We are not in it together! One rule for them and one rule for us!
It’s because they know there is no pandemic.
It helps clarify their behaviour and events if you stop thinking of “countries” and see this new structure of the West as it now really is – a vast superstructure controlled entirely by international organisations like the UN and WEF, Blackrock and Vanguard. These entities control vastly more wealth than the countries they have turned into burnt-out husks and call all the shots.
Wot, no CCTV?
Is anyone surprised?! They’ve all been contradicting their arbitrary diktats from the start.
Here’s the news for anyone thinking this is a revelation: the great and the good are not scared. They never were.
I remember reporting here at LS of a conversation with a member clearly of the establishment elite newly arrived at our otherwise deserted provincial railway station.
I suggested that Chistmas lockdown in London must have been really bad (thinking of the myriads cooped up in flats and bedsits).
His response was that ‘London never was locked down, well not Chelsea or Westminster’
It was their dirty little secret shared with the equally privileged members of the press.
Then on here we are all the great and the good. I’ve never been scared by this flu. I’d hazard a guess most on here feel the same way too. 😊
Not scared of the flu but in March/April 2020 was terrified of the possibility of the NHS hospital experience
Yep, I was not worried by it, not at all. I took the view that I’d either catch it, or I wouldn’t, and I’d either get over it, or I wouldn’t. But I wasn’t going to spend my life cowering in fear because of it.
As it happens both my other half and I had something which we are sure was covid back in December and January of 2020, notable for an absolutely horrendous cough. But at the time we thought it was just something that was going around. We were both rough for a while, but we both recovered. At the time we didn’t connect it to covid because the real panic didn’t kick off for a couple of months afterwards.
What DOES frighten me, however, is our bloody government and the way they’ve handled things, and what may be in store for us.
December 2019 and January 2020, to be clear.
I got mine at the end of 2019 too. I had a horrendous cough, and had three lots of antibiotics and two lots of steroids, all to no avail. So they gave me a scan, and found ‘ground-glass lesions’ on my lung (quite common with covid). I said to the nurse “I’m sure I’ve had covid”, and she said “oh, everybody thinks that!” So then I paid for a blood test which showed positive for a full covid antibody count.
Two days later Johnston banned antibody tests, claiming that “if we knew we’d had covid we’d stop wearing masks”. But I think we know now that that was a pathetic excuse, because of course he banned them because he was afraid we wouldn’t get the jab if we knew we were safe!
The greatest con of this whole thing is that ‘the vulnerable’ and the ‘unvaccinated’ can contract and transmit covid. The truth is that everyone, vaccinated, unvaccinated, Ivermectin or HCQ users can contract covid. Any virus can be contracted by anyone, it’s the immune systems response which is crucial. Those with a healthy immune system, including those with antibodies (obviously) will fight it off and kill the virus, usually before it becomes transmissible. Transmission is the problem, not contraction. Now we are learning that the mRNA drugs don’t resist transmission. There’s the con that perpetuates this whole thing. mRNA drugs will not allow people to develop natural immunity, and thereby herd immunity, which is a composite of a community with healthy immune systems and the elderly with compromised immunity. And here’s the second massive con trick: In reality, as far as respiratory virus’ are concerned, conventional vaccines are routinely offered to the elderly. That’s not herd immunity, that’s a vaccine to protect the elderly, the rest of the community is individually immune or has the ability to develop immunity through exposure. The problem is our antiseptic lives. The healthiest people I know don’t swab their houses with bleach and antibacterial products.… Read more »
“ I took the view that I’d either catch it, or I wouldn’t, and I’d either get over it, or I wouldn’t. But I wasn’t going to spend my life cowering in fear because of it.”
I think that nails it in terms of the rationalist view. All that needs to be added is that we’re quite capable of assessing and managing ou own risk – an important skill that seems totally absent in the statistically illiterate Public Health area, even when you take away significance-seeking malice.
Ditto, started boxing day 2019 for me. Was nothing like any cold I could remember, no bunged up nose or sneezing and started with a cough then stayed on my chest throughout. If you search google for coronavirus (cold) symptoms and search pre oct 2019 (to eliminate all the covid stuff), the symptoms match a corona cold perfectly. Just a coincidence ?
Why should they be scared? The public obediently don face masks and spray the handles of their shopping trolleys. Mission accomplished.
“Never mind, mustn’t grumble”.
I expect the Uighurs in their concentration camps are thinking of the British and sending their sympathies, as we did for them.
I mean we did, right?
I ignored the ‘rules’ over Christmas as well. I think Boris might be a closet sceptic 😀
I did too, to have one last Christmas with my Dad, not that we knew it at the time. I’d never have forgiven myself if I’d followed their f*ckin “rules”!
“Worth reading in full???” – you must be f.ing joking. It’s not worth using as bog paper.
Johnson and concubine a pair of hypocrites? So what’s new. Of course, even Mr Toad isn’t expected to be stupid enough to actually believe the guff he spews on Covid. Most of we of the sane brigade took no notice of the Christmas nonsense – and more fool those who did.
Don’t bother with non-stories from the Fail like this – beyond noting that they confirm that the whole charade is a load of bollocks.
I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. These allegations are right to be outed. If true they illustrate the sheer hypocrisy and I would go further than that, the outright cruelty of the measures that were imposed on the British Public by a social elite who couldn’t give a toss about us mere mortals. Yes, it’s all a load of bollocks, but scientific arguments are not going to change entrenched minds. But outrage at the different standards apparently pertaining to our ruling classes might just do the trick, this is an emotional war that we are fighting now.
‘…outrage at the different standards apparently pertaining to our ruling classes might just do the trick, this is an emotional war that we are fighting now.’
Before you know it, Christmas will have passed, the traditional/obligatory threats of snow will have done the rounds, and we’ll be rolling into the ‘third year’ of ‘this pandemic’ (because seasonal activity no longer matters, and we’re still treating this as one big season/outbreak…because COVID!), and the muddled masses are still falling for this garbage.
The aforementioned masses have had nearly two years of third-rate politicians being caught violating their own arbitrary decrees, and, generally speaking, they have not batted an eyelid. And you’re still holding out hope that these perpetual morons might look at this story and say, ‘Hold on a bloody minute…’
My dear friend, I am in dire need of a strong dose of your faith.
It might do if backed up by a challenge on the PCR testing, see separate post. Am ever hopeful!
There have already been hundreds of challenges about the PCR testing being not fit for purpose. The scam continues, and few are willing to actually do much about it.
A challenge? And what court would give that an unbiased hearing?
You might want to check out the best rated comments from DM readers on the article. They are not impressed by the double standards,
Does the world really run and depend on readers’ comments in The Daily Mail?
If true. The whole thing sounds like gossip. The idea that Carrie models herself on Kate is clearly nonsense.
I have no problem with people having another illustration of Johnson’s unfitness. Of course not.
However – we are talking about an electorate of whom a significant proportion were dim enough to vote for the evil, hypocritical homunculus in the first place, when all the essentials were already known to all but a total dimwit. Since then the facts have been underlined again and again and again.
Do you think this will alter the image of bumbling cuddly Boris’ in the minds of that moron contingent?
I don’t know, but it might be a gateway into challenging the agenda (see separate post).
Bozo was voted in to ‘get Brexit done’ which he did, just about (the alternative being one J. Corbyn and his former paramour D. Abbot, Ms).
Those who voted Neville Chamberlain into power had more inkling of Hitlers megalomania looming on the horizon than the current UK electorate did of the WHOs phoney corony pandemic.
“Bozo was voted in to ‘get Brexit done’”
… i.e. a total delusional irrelevancy – again pushed by the majority of the MSM scammers.
I’m still waiting to see this ‘independence’ in action as Mr Toad et al. crawl along in the wake of the more powerful EU and global capital.
Kim Jong Johnson was up against truly revolting opposition in 2019, that’s why he won.
Having won, he implemented the agenda of Jeremy Corbyn.
I object to the slight on the real Mr Toad!
🙂
Boris got Covid. Thank God he didn’t die of it! I mean, he’s a family man. We should all be grateful to the dedicated nurses who saved him.
OK, so he let flights from Indian into the UK for a week and a half despite the fact that India was being overrun by the Delta Variant at the time, but we all make mistakes, right?
And Lessons Have Since Been Learned.
I agree and as far as stories being ‘outed’ by the gossip rag Mail!! As per most of its rubbish, It’s simply doing a great distraction job to keep the plebs entertained – while kids keep getting jabbed. This petty gossip is hardly going to wake the brain washed up to go deep diving and get the bigger picture agenda, but it does serve to keep the churn going and waste energy better spent protesting outside schools, for example, which is proving effective.
I don’t care about breaking meaningless rules. What I object to is rack hypocrisy. We see it time and time again from those making the rules.
…..
No story here. Easily explained under the ‘childcare’ or even ‘support’ exemptions. Or perhaps they ‘bubbled’ for the Christmas period. As part of a file full of transgressions, this might carry some weight. As a single instance, it looks desperate.
So Symonds ‘models’ herself on the Duchess of Cambridge? Well, I channel Princess Grace, and am similarly unsuccesful, Carrie, love.
And remember: her ‘impressive court’ includes Matt Hancock. She even does her Office Angels job placement trick for him …. Ha ha ha ha ha ….
Edited to add: interesting though that this site should publish a personal hit piece against Johnson.
Desperate or not, perception is reality!

Nimco Ali? What? The same “Nimko Ali” that helped to back Hancock’s 5 minute wonder of a job?
Bozo and Dungford, the two most utterly loathsome men in the entire world, wrecked my Christmas between them.
I won’t forget.
Come on Boris, time for you to get another mistress.
Do I detect the Machiavellian hand of Cummings again?
He *hates* Carrie with a padsion and is pretty pissed off with Boris too.
Leaving aside the allegation about Boris and his Wife breaking lockdown regulations, the revelation that a lab doing PCR testing has returned over 40,000 wrong results should be the thrust of a sustained campaign against the accuracy of this test, which is the bedrock of the current insanity when it comes to political strategies such as lockdowns and ‘vaccine passports’. Daily figures for positive tests, deaths and hospitalisation are all calculated primarily by numbers generated by PCR tests. So how can anyone now trust any of the figures that are thrust upon us every afternoon by the Government if the same institutional failings are not ruled out in other labs? If the Drosten PCR test falls, then the whole house of cards will crumble and not before time. You only need a chink in the political armour, maybe not directly related, to open up a can of worms in the eyes of the public. I don’t claim a monopoly on wisdom but I do think that this is a key, if not the key, vulnerability in the Government’s strategy and may help torpedo the otherwise inevitable introduction of ‘Vaccine Passports’ in England to allegedly save Christmas. The question is how… Read more »
Yes, I have a suggestion for you; Stop watching their daily updates of doom. I’ve never watched a single one and am only aware of them from snippets on YouTube.
There are some people – here on this blog site – who will tell you that the Drosten-Cormen RT-PCR test was improved soon after being endorsed and mandated by the WHO as the Gold Standard before being relegated, twice, by the same august body due to a public acceptance of the rank unsuitability of the CT rate adopted ( 40+ if I remember correctly ). I have asked one particular supporter of the CD RT-PCR mass testing regime to confirm how it was improved – never saw the reply, so I will ask again – evidently I am not a scientist but it would be great to understand more -: If the SARS COV2 GoF genetically engineered, non naturally occurring chimera has had its genome sequenced to confirm 30,000+ bases thereto, how much of that sequence was/is identified in the original/”improved” CD RT-PCR regime? Exactly what was the WHO mandated CT rate to be used in this mass testing process? How do you explain the myriad of scientists involved in PCR testing using the RT/CT process who have stated that a CT rate beyond a certain level invalidate the result, variously stated to be anything more than 25? Have testing… Read more »
All very valid questions. Reiner Fuellmich and legal beagles around the world are asking these questions and so far hitting a brick wall it seems🤔 The answer I suppose is keep chipping away until someone cracks and keep putting this information out there ….most importantly don’t comply with the testing regime under any circumstances
“ If the Drosten PCR test falls, then the whole house of cards will crumble and not before time. “
I fear not. Conitive dissonance and confirmation bias will relegate it as an irrelevancy.
BTW, check out the comorbidities on Johnson. What a specimen. Just the man you want telling you what to do with your life!
Last Christmas – real “news” then?
Wtf?
Last Christmas eh?
I’m more interested in what these scumbags have planned for this Christmas frankly!
No amount of threats, intimidation, bullying, blackmail or bribes, or even “cascading” another crisis to hide this one, will make people forget the two years of terrorism and trauma the government has meted out to them. As of last week, 876 healthy people under 60 in England have died of covid-19 across the entire pandemic. NHS figures. What they have done to this country and its citizens it a crime against humanity.
Wrecked small and medium businesses.
Driven suicide up to all-time highs.
Increased depression to an all-time high.
Sacked key workers unless they submit to untested gene therapies with high risk signals.
Borrowed more money than ever before, driving up the biggest national debt in history.
Trashed the economy.
Triggered record wage-busting inflation.
Because 876 healthy people under 60 died.
Yet the British population seem quite happy with all this, and continue to wear face masks and spray their shopping trolley handles.
I think you could have a few people over on Christmas Day itself. You could definitely bubble with a single person household over the festive period. So no rules broken here.
Strange that in the next piece, about Handcock, there’s a reference to a lady named Nimko Ali. Could be the same person??
The reminder of where we were last Christmas is a nudge for me. You won’t be able to have your Christmas (2020) because? Today, it is you won’t be able to have food, toys, fuel, gas this winter until everyone has taken the experimental biologicals. What will be withheld next? Despite the fact that in every age group who rec’d the vaxx, Covid cases are higher in the vaxxed group. ONS stats. That isn’t stopping the brainwashed who are now pushing and shoving to get a booster. At what point will the sheeple wake up? The rules are for Joe public, they do not apply to this gov’t. The adverse events post vaxx, in USA, now 750,000, deaths 17,000 CDC VAERS.
The Duchess gets better publicity because she is genuinely a warm and generous person. She knows her job is to support her husband whilst working hard to create a future for her children. She is respected and liked because she didn’t break up a marriage or push an agenda alien to the British people. Carrie Symonds is probably not a naturally pleasant person in reality. It seems to me she has an agenda and is clearly taking the Spin Crown from Alistair Campbell. Another deeply disliked and unelected character.
Clothes are only superficial. No matter what the clothes, the heart shows through
Kate has understood from the beginning that she has to watch her steps carefully and stay out of controversy.
Unlike Meghan, she has humility.
Another example of do as I say not as I do. We were told categorically that we could not meet up with family and friends last Christmas. In a previous era the relevation that the PM and his wife had a guest for Christmas in such circumstances would be a resigning matter.
But… but… That means our leader is a hypocrite! Who’d have thought it?
What a fucking surprise.
I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!……………..
