Prime Minister\u2019s Questions is a weekly event that takes place every Wednesday. It sees the British Prime Minister appear in the Commons and answer queries from the Leader of the Opposition, other political leaders and MPs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Boris Johnson could be in for a tough Prime Minister\u2019s Questions today, as the Christmas Party scandal continues to escalate.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (7th December 2021) ITV News broadcast a leaked video showing No 10 staff laughing about an apparent Downing Street Christmas party \u2013 film just days after it was alleged that one held there during lockdown in late December last year.<\/p>\n

Downing Street continues to deny that any such party occurred, but in the leaked footage, staff can be heard joking about a \u201cChristmas party\u201d that was \u201cnot socially distanced\u201d.<\/p>\n

No 10 clearly has some big questions to answer.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, here\u2019s everything you need to know about how to watch the Prime Minister face off against Keir Starmer at today\u2019s PMQs\u2026<\/p>\n

What time is Prime Minister\u2019s Questions today?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

PMQs will begin at its usual time at 12 midday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The session will run for half an hour.<\/p>\n

Sir Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition and the leader of the Labour Party, will no doubt have some tough questions to face the Prime Minister with.<\/p>\n

This certainly looks like one session we will not want to miss.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to guess what today\u2019s main topic of conversation will be on PMQs.<\/p>\n

Claims of a Downing Street Christmas bash in December 2020 have caused widespread fury, given that indoor mixing was banned under COVID rules at the time.<\/p>\n

In the leaked video, the Prime Minister\u2019s then-spokeswoman Allegra Stratton is questioned by colleagues about reports of a Christmas bash, as they rehearse a news conference in late December 2020 \u2013 just days after the party was allegedly held in Downing Street.<\/p>\n

Stratton jokes: \u201cThis fictional party was a business meeting and it was not socially distanced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other staff can also be heard chipping in, with one joking: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a party, it was cheese and wine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

A Downing Street spokesperson said in response to the clip: \u201cThere was no Christmas party. COVID rules have been followed at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has added: \u201cPeople across the country followed the rules even when that meant being separated from their families, locked down and \u2013 tragically for many \u2013 unable to say goodbye to their loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had a right to expect that the government was doing the same. To lie and to laugh about those lies is shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n
