The video, exposed by The Mirror, shows at least 24 people in attendance, including two individuals named on Boris Johnson's resignation honours list.
The behaviour in the video has been widely condemned, with some calling for those involved to face consequences.
The Metropolitan Police says it is aware of the footage and is considering it, and the Conservative Party has taken formal disciplinary action against four staff members.
The video shows individuals dressed up in Christmas jumpers, dancing, and appearing to joke about pandemic restrictions, while laughing and saying "As long as we don’t stream that we’re like, bending the rules." The article discusses a new video that has emerged of a Christmas party at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) in 2019, where several attendees, including Ben Mallett and Shaun Bailey, are seen dancing and socializing.
Mallett was reportedly appointed as the campaign's chief of staff by Boris Johnson, but the appointment was allegedly disputed by other staff members.
Bailey attended the party and is seen in a photo standing in the middle of a group photo in a kitchen.
Many are calling for Bailey and Mallett to be stripped of their honours, which they received in Boris Johnson's resignation honours list last week, after the video's release.
The Sunday Times reported that the rules of campaign work for Sanjeev Gupta's ally, Bogue, stated that the work of volunteers should be declared if they are "funded by another body." Bogue later joined lobbying firm Stonehaven as a senior consultant in defence and public affairs.
She is also understood to be working as an aide to Hossain alongside her former colleague and party attendee Mallett.
Bogue's social media accounts suggest she is a keen foxhunter and dancer.
Little is known about her life outside of work.
The Sunday Times also reported that Jack Smith, who was head of social media for Conservative London Mayor candidate Shaun Bailey, is now the other half in the now-famous "partygate" video dancing couple.
Smith was working as Bailey's head of social media at the time.
Property developer and Tory donor Nick Candy, who is married to former Neighbours actress and pop star Holly Vallance, can be seen in the now-famous Christmas party photo, dressed in a grey blazer and raising a glass of white wine.
Candy's involvement in the scandal has put him in some less favourable headlines.
Nine individuals have been identified in an article as having attended a Christmas party hosted by Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) in December 2021.
The party was attended by candidates for the Tory mayoral nomination and has since become controversial.
The individuals are: 1.
James Cleverly, who attended the party and was later appointed as the Tory party chairman.
2.
Bailey Rogers, who hosted the party and is a former deputy head of the party's policy unit.
3.
Ben Merrick, who worked for Bailey's mayoral campaign and was hired by Rogers to run CCHQ after the party.
4.
Jamie Monteith-Mann, who was an aide to a Tory MP at the time of the party and has since worked for David Simmonds, a Conservative MP.
5.
Mac Chapwell, a former Obama staffer who worked as an Area Campaign Manager for the Conservative Party and was named "Campaign Manager of the Year" in 2019.
6.
Alex Smith, who worked for Bailey's mayoral campaign and is now working on Hossain's mayoral campaign.
7.
George Mallett, who worked for Bailey's mayoral campaign and is now working on Hossain's mayoral campaign.
8.
Tom Stevens, who worked for Bailey's mayoral campaign and is now working on Hossain's mayoral campaign.
9.
Moz Hossain, who is the Tory mayoral hopeful and was seen breaking down in tears during an Evening Standard interview.
The article also mentions that Jamie Monteith-Mann was involved in a now-notorious CCHQ Christmas party, and that Mac Chapwell worked as an Area Campaign Manager for the Conservative Party before founding Fullbrook Strategies, a lobbying firm.
The article discusses a photo of a group of people, including London Assembly Member David Bailey, who is currently suspended from the Conservative Party, and several others who are believed to have attended a party with Bailey.
One of the people in the photo is Brigitte Fink, a senior at Yale College majoring in history with a focus on 20th century diplomacy.
The article also mentions Adam Wildman, who was the political director at the Conservative Party at the time, and Sedef Akdemir, who was the outreach director for the Conservative Party Mayoral Campaign in London.
The article does not provide any new information about the controversy surrounding Bailey.
The article does not provide any significant information or main points to summarize.
It only mentions that a person named "her" has faced challenging and high-pressure situations and has experience in navigating a crisis, but does not provide any further details or context.
