If only he’d adopted the same attitude to parties that he took towards COBRA meetings…

No 10 very disappointed in the Met for not getting to the bottom of what was going on in No 10 https://t.co/BjzebV68Oo

Turns out that if you get junior staff to take the blame, those junior staff won’t feel very loyal to you… https://t.co/mCGhYAdASM

Cool so now the endless cycle can begin again. Some poor minister on TV tomorrow, defending the indefensible, his soul gradually pissing itself away through his shoes as he speaks. Then the next day, some bit of tepid red meat for the backbenches, debate temporarily moves on.

Of course the Met didn’t do anything, he’s not a small woman at a vigil. #partygate

If you’re a cabinet minister going on air in the morning, one line you could maybe try is that if you’d asked Harold Shipman if he’d murdered anyone on a specific date, he probably wouldn’t have known either. https://t.co/nb4Dl6cPrc

Boy! I'm starting to think @BorisJohnson might not be the totally honest bloke I always took him to be. https://t.co/nLCfumhIoc

I want to hear from everyone blurred out in that photo. Why they thought it was fine to do that and weren't panicking when the boss walked in. Spill everything on the not giving a fuck culture of Number 10 during a pandemic.

No doubt the PM will be doing a walk about in Kyiv tomorrow.

Boris Johnson is not working (with apologies to Saatchi & Saatchi’s winning election slogan in 1979) https://t.co/jf7SfFOWIa

If you’re wondering why Johnson wasn’t given a fine by police who have repeatedly seen these very same pictures, you weren’t the only one.
We have now had advice from our QC and junior. We will be sending a further judicial review pre-action protocol letter to the Met in relation to the apparent failures in its investigation into the Prime Minister later this week. https://t.co/G5iD6X7VKo

To conclude …
Wow…… so he lied, to the British people and to Parliament. https://t.co/GSqeSWTu5K

It begins.
