Very, very disquieted by what they heard and didnt buy into it. i can give you a quick selection of quotes. 0ne mps said the statement was meaningless, its overfor him. another tory mp said it doesnt bear scrutiny, it will unravel. another said, "i think hes finally run out of teflon." so a lot of disquiet, and a lot of mps wondering whether his time may soon be up. but still, for the time being, i think, that line coming out of the government, to wait for the inquiry, is what everyone will have...

Including 38% of those who voted tory at the last election." this was conducted before wednesdays apology. its worth reminding you of the events of may 2020, when the drinks party took place. we know 30 people attended. invitees were told to "bring your own booze". also in may, england was in its first lockdown. people could only leave home for work, exercise or for essential supplies, and could only meet one person from another household outdoors. already there had been 36,000 covid deaths. fra...

If he denied breaking rules and said this was still a work event, that probably has bought a bit of time. but what it has not done is given the comprehensive answers to those big questions we have been hearing and there are still tory mps who are wandering around parliament today, were still questioning borisjohnson plasma future. there are some who will say to you privately we think he has reached the end of the road and that he should because of whats happened over the last two weeks. the ques...

An apology from borisjohnson — who breaks his silence to admit attending a work event in the number ten garden in may 2020 — when the uk was in lockdown. did you lie about the parties, prime minister? accused of deceit and betrayal by opposition leaders in the commons, the prime minister was under intense pressure to explain himself. i regret the way the event i have described was handled. i bitterly regret it and wish that we could have done things differently and i will continue to apologi...

Was having to apologise to the queen about those parties the night before she put her husband of over 70 years, she laid him to rest, was that a moment of shame for you? i deeply and bitterly regret that that happened, and i can only renew my apologies both to her majesty and to the country, for misjudgements that were made, and for which i take full responsibility. mrjohnson was not there on that occasion but questions remain about the drinks he did attend. he insists he thought it was a work e...
