Johnson's secretary invited 100 people, so it's most likely that it was Johnson's idea or that he at least approved it. That's generally how secretaries operate, and is even more likely to have been the case given that it was in peak pandemic time and they all knew that an alcoholic event for 100 odd people was not the done thing - especially given that there are quotes from people at the time saying as much.
Yes, I get that. I'm not literally angry at the email, it's whats in the email. The email is the evidence that the party was pre planned and not related to work etc. I'm sure we agree with eachother here!
