I am confused

Can someone explain why a woman who did not go to a party, sorry, cheese and wine business meeting, has to resign because of it when she left before it did not happen? Also, why does a man need an inquiry needed to find out if a party happened (or not) where he lives?

The explanation is that Allegra Stratton was being frivolous during a time when people were facing hardships and dying.  But she was not alone.  The others in the video seem to have kept their jobs.  Were they being serious when they brought up this matter in a private practice session about answering questions?

In addition to this, when this matter was brought up in PMQ's, the Prime Minister accused those doing so of playing politics.  Which begs the question "were Ant and Dec were playing politics when they raised this last night?"  

 

What could be more damaging is the question by Catherine West, which related to other parties.  If parties were taking place when they should not have, then the chance of one being proven to happen is greater.
