In denial

Today, Johnson refused to accept that those receiving FPN had, in fact had broken the law. Depsite having passed the threshold for the issuing of the notices.

It is possible this is in preparation for Johnson's defence should he get a, or more, FPN.

Sadly, the sent Raab out to do media this morning, and he said that those who receoved FPNs had broke the law and should face the consequences.

We can always rely on DimDom to come to the rescue, or whatever the opposite of rescue is.

In maintaing this lie, he was able to fend off demands he either correct the record or resign. There is a line that is in 1984 about the greatest trick the Party pulled was not beleiving your own senses. Or words to that effect.

Yesterday, the Conservative Parliamentary Party had an actual party on the day the Partygate FPMs were sent out.

It takes a proper posh education to have a "fuck you" attitude to do that.

As ever, he is hoping to ride out the storm of today into the calmer waters of tomorrow, hoping the electorate won't remember.

Sadly, he may be right.
