Home Secretary, Priti Patel said that the video ‘sickening’ and urged police to take the ‘strongest possible action against him’, in a post on Twitter. Her remark did not get much support from the general public, she got reminded that the Conservative MPs held a party last year, when the whole country was coerced into staying at home and following the maximum of number of six people having Christmas together.
