Someone has turned up to the 10 Downing Street rave two weeks early

A keen party-goer has rocked up to the Facebook-organised Downing Street Christmas rave a whole two weeks early. 

In a TikTok video, the man could be seen outside of Number 10, dressed in a red and white festive shirt and fake crown while dancing and throwing various shapes to disco music on a portable speaker, all while police officers watched on nearby. 

The footage was quick to go viral, with thousands of other TikTok users applauding the man for his gutsy display, and others labelling him simply a ‘legend’.

The so-called Christmas Rave was organised on Facebook in the wake of the Downing Street Christmas party scandal, where senior officials were seen laughing about a party that took place while strict Covid restrictions were in place across the country.

Scheduled for Christmas Eve, the rave features party plans that are probably all too familiar among senior MPs at Number 10 with a headline slot from ‘BORIS JOHNSON & CHUMS’. 

The party’s organiser Jon Mancini has assured attendees that there will be ‘no social distancing required’ and instructed them to ‘bring who you like’ and ‘your own nibbles and drink’… So we can assume there won’t be any complimentary cheese and wine knocking about like there was at last year’s alleged do. 

The event has proven to be wildly popular, with 1.1 million people registering their interest in attending at the time of writing. 

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has continuously denied that a Christmas party ever took place, but admitted that he understood the public’s outrage at the clip of his advisor laughing and that he was ‘furious’ himself during yesterday’s PMQs. 

He also said that a full internal investigation would be conducted into what happened, and those found to have acted inappropriately would face consequences.

Since the scandal broke, people across the nation have been reacting in horror, particularly those from Greater Manchester, who were living under strict Tier 3 restrictions at the time.
