Rishi Sunak’s government has finally been forced to reveal the cost of Boris Johnson’s boozy Brexit party after a long-running court battle.
The then-PM and his staff spent almost £8,000 of taxpayers’ money on English sparkling wine and other alcoholic beverages to mark the moment the UK left the EU.
The Downing Street party took place to celebrate Brexit “getting done” at 11pm on 31 January 2020.
Data released under Freedom of Information (FoI) laws revealed that the alcohol bill for the No 10 bash amounted to £7,897.
Documents shared with The Mirror show thousands were spent on 117 bottles of Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2014 – an English sparkling wine which costs £65 per bottle.

Must admit I had never heard of that wine, but it does get very good reviews.
Thanks for the tip, I'll bear it in mind next time I need some fizzy.

Non story about bubble and froth. So you think it costing you money and they getting it for free is a none story. Your a very wise and prudent champ normally. Let's not forget this was going on during lock down. And they broke the law. |

Funny, no complaints about all the money that was spent on parties at No10 when Blair was PM?
Or the billions we wasted on membership of the shitty EU (£9.5bn a year post rebate at the time of exit).
The cost of EU membership was £26,027,397 a day and our nation was in decline.
It wasn't worth it.
The cost is far less now.
Our economy is growing, unemployment is far lower than before the referendum.
What are you remoaning for Leftie?

You still haven't given a reason why its worth paying £26 million pounds a day to the EU.
Now we're out, our exports to them are worth more than we were in (taking into account inflation), and our exports to the rest of the world have grown too.

The Brexit Party in January 2020 was not an "illegal rave" the lockdowns didn't start until March 2020.
And even then, the laws were different regarding people who work together.

Do you normally enjoy your money going on law breakers Vinny has already replied to the legal issue and no I don't like my money going toward law breakers . When you find one let me know and I'll ask for a refund |
