Is it or is it not a party? It seems the disease of not knowing when one is or is not at a party has spread from Prince Andrew to other members of the British establishment.

Correspondent Rosie Holt tries to get to the bottom of this perplexing issue.

As the UK puts more countries on its Red and Amber lists, only damp, bleak places remain as possible holiday destinations.
