UK Minister Apologizes for Tory Lockdown Party Video

Michael Gove, the UK's housing secretary, has apologised for a video showing Tory activists at a Christmas party during lockdown in 2020, saying it is "indefensible". The video published by the Mirror shows workers drinking and dancing at an event in London in December that year. The event at the Tory party's HQ was organised by the campaign team for Shaun Bailey, who was running for London mayor at the time the video was filmed. The Conservative Party said four people were disciplined over the event, although it has not named them.
