Episode 3 of the Partygate saga laid out in stark clarity by Ros Atkins

Ros Atkins’ explainers on the situation regarding the alleged parties at Downing Street are in danger of becoming a long-running series, as developments break through almost every day.

You can find his first one here, and a second here, but the latest update is the best so far – and it makes everything so clear.

‘Mr Johnson has been repeatedly saying that there was no party, that no rules were broken. Now, he appears to have ordered an investigation to see if what he was saying was true.’

With well over a million and a half views in just over 12 hours, the piece is making waves on Twitter, where people have had a lot to say.

Watch Ros Atkins go! Banging them out like Morrissey and Marr in 1983. https://t.co/KWiDrRjYVp

Excellent, as always, and incredible really that Ros is on to his third one of his about a Christmas Party that people are still pretending didn’t happen? https://t.co/yM9MM0d9Am

In short –

Summarising it all succinctly makes it even more damning, I feel. https://t.co/kt6q3Q7x6P
