Stratton quit because of the No 10 party?
Plus, Allegra Stratton quit, perhaps for being caught joking about the lack of social distancing there.

The event happened when London was in tier 2. That the moment Covid level is in the “high alert” and indoor social mixing between households was prohibited.
Javid declared Simon Case would have a “wide remit” to investigate whether laws were violated.
“I think there is a need to have an investigation because I think there’s enough doubt that’s been thrown on this by the reports and by looking at that video.”
No 10 party made an unusual condition
A Tory MP said they had never witnessed the condition with Javid facing most opposition “from his side”. Some government frontbenchers purposely requested to be approved to miss the vote next week. Then they shouldn’t have to vote against the government.
Javid also stated that Case was not just seeing at a certain date but can watch whatever dates he wants to view.
