Leshie Chandrapala is one of the hundreds of members of the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK group who have expressed their anger and frustration over a newly released video appearing to show a Christmas party at the Conservative party headquarters during Covid restrictions in 2020. Leshie told the Guardian: ‘we are living a nightmare’ and said she felt a ‘physical sickness’ after watching the video for the first time. Her father, Ranjith Chanrapala, 64, was a bus driver and died from the virus in May 2020. The video appears to show staff members drinking alcohol and dancing on 14 December 2020 at a gathering held by the campaign team of the unsuccessful London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey, who has since been given a peerage in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list. 232 people lost their lives to the pandemic that day
