Concerning Johnson defending himself by saying that he only ever acted in good faith over Partygate, this comment appeared below-the-line in the Guardian:

"This farce is angering me no end. He lied. We know it, he knows it everyone knows it. His defence that he didnt know what he was doing is far too ridiculous to even take seriously. If this were a trial the jury would find him guilty in 5 mins tops. Instead we have to endure this protracted nonsense. All the while the country is barely being governed. Farce."

Alleluja. And this farce is being conducted at public expense, by a panel that has a majority of Tories on it.

(Giving credit where it's due, that post was responded to appropriately by one Tattie_Bogle!)
