If you know anything about British political news during the Boris Johnson era you will totally get where this is coming from.
Now if you are not a fan of British humour this might not be for you, but if you like a good bit of sarcasm this will be something for you. When this whole party thing came out I was frustrated on behalf of the British people and didn't see the joke in it. But as usual humour is the best way to get the point across.

Despite not being familiar with British politics, this was hilarious af.

Very witty, but at times bumptious. Verity, whilst mocking the elite is also mocking the general public for adhering to the lock down rules. So the jury is out.
