The widely-publicised photo showed Bailey and two dozen or so party staffers and aides raising glasses of wine with a buffet table next to them.
The force investigated the event last year and issued no fines, citing not enough evidence to ‘disprove the version of events provided by attendees’.With no police action taken, this all but cleared the path for Bailey to become a peer, one among a long list of Johnson allies set to join the unelected House of Lords.
