If Prince Andrew can get away with noncery I’m fairly sure Boris is fairly safe for going to a party.

Only Andrew looks like he hasn't got away with it and Johnson hopefully won't either.

He's right. Fuck ton of stuff for Parliament to pay attention to, and pretty much every MP asked the same question, one the PM had already kicked a couple of weeks down the line.

I do fancy the sort of job where you can’t tell whether you’re at a party or at work, though. Politicians set up working parties all the time, mind you. Not sure what the fuss is about.

I've been at a few parties where I've had no idea where I was to be honest.
Not sure that would fly as an excuse in parliament though.

His defence this time around is essentially the same one as it has been with all the other obvious parties. Only slight tweak with this one is that he accepts it probably was a social event he just didn't know that at the time.
Having spoken to the legals he clearly feels he's on safe-ish ground on the it was all work not play there just happened to be some booze as well defence. He's probably right as well as the law was badly written and there will be enough grey areas to escape through.
Its just about public opinion really and that's why the met ain't going to touch this with a bargepole. I reckon he's confident that the 'independent' review when it comes will be the usual whitewash. Senior members of the civil service are up to their neck in this it seems unlikely they will throw themselves under a bus.

Well, perhaps there’s hope on both counts…

Yeah, I reckon he can maybe hang on through this particular storm with this sort of tactic. I think he's toast in the not-so-long term though - once the people who have the power to hold him to some sort of account (and that doesn't necessarily mean much more than forcing him to actually address the issue at hand) stop accepting the shrugs and wiffling noises then the list of black marks against him will pile up very rapidly indeed. And the general tone of public opinion is going to push more of them to do that.

She really wasnt quiet about it, her 'analysis' was to be found in the usual places yesterday, and there is this today fro the article I just linked to:
He tried that different tone in the last covid press conference too, an attempt to partially reboot, to move further away from the Peppa Pig version of his performances.

It'd be nice if they both got their come-uppance on the same day. And maybe it can turn out that Nadine Dorries had a ringer do her O-levels for her on the same day...
