As I say, there is an enquiry pending.
It's the apparent lying indeed that is the issue not the fact he popped into a "work event" .

I was thinking about how he "got Brexit done" the other day and came to the conclusion that perhaps only someone with his capacitry for subterfuge could have managed it.
He won't want to be remembered as the PM who had to resign because he misled parliament and in his world that's easily fixed by simply not resigning, even if the enquiry finds that he did.
After all he's ignored the results of every other damning enquiry into his colleagues so far.

If he goes I think the party will be making a mistake and will regret it.

SQAD "He has admitted to lying to Parliament and to the electorate."

When did he give that admission?

Sqad

Corby.....PMQ's

^^ I think I missed that

bednobs

i hope he does (if only to win my bet with TTT) :)
I do find it odd that people voted for boris then complain when he acts like boris

THECORBYLOON

Did HE say he had lied to/mislead Parliament or are others saying that he had lied to/ mislead Parliament?

There is a big difference.

naomi24

I missed that too, sqad.

Nobs, the Bill and Ben is ready to go to the chirridee of your choice! Shame you are the only one with the bottle to back your own opinion!

Sqad

My recollections were that he was questioned on a previous meeting in the House if he had a attended a No10 " gathering" in that day in May and that he denied it.

Of course my recollections may be flawed.

SQAD,

Too soon! He appears to have mislead Parliament but that is different from his saying that he had.

I know many people who would have had a party if we thought we could have got away with it. As an aside, it does make me think back to those times and how the public was so willing to sacrifice their freedoms without any complaints on the threat of death. Especially in regard to the elderly who weren't allowed to see and hug relatives, which thinking about it now was a step too far and disgusting. Never again must these restrictions happen.

Peter Pedant

Kier said he was lying and the Speaker
( rule 1 you must not call another MP a liar) - did diddly squat about it.

I didnt think he ( TGM the great man- Boris that is!) said/admitted he had lied
I was watching very carefully

ichkeria

He definitely did not admit to lying: he had three options:
“I was at the party and I’m sorry”
ie “I lied before”
So he couldn’t say that.
Another was: “no comment as an enquiry was pending” which was his line in interviews leading up to yesterday. But that would have been ridiculous,
In the end he went with:
“I was there but I didn’t realise/judge it to be a party” and indeed tried to claim back some limited moral high ground by suggesting that he should have told the naughty boys and girls to break it up

Khandro

If he'd actually said, "I lied to parliament" he'd be out, & his feet wouldn't touch the ground
