Am I missing something or by the very fact that these parties happened doesn’t that automatically mean that the rules were broken?

If you look at the rules that were in place at the time it would be basically impossible to have any sort of gathering and it not be breaking the rules.

My thoughts exactly. So how can he keep saying all rules were observed and no one point it out that having the parties in the first place is breaking the rules.

I read about that. There's no way the public are going to go for the rules not being broken as they don't apply to crown property.

BoJo will struggle to remember whether the line to take is -
Deny being at a party that did happen,
Or
Deny that the pàrty happened
Or
Claim to be angry about his staff having a party in his house without him knowing

They were clearly setting the scene to use that one yesterday through The Daily Telegraph but I would think they dare not go there now.

I have heard someone (undoubtedly a lawyer and Tory) say that the party that never happened anyway didn't break the rules because they were on Crown property, which was not covered by the restrictions. Or some such technical nonsense anyway.

So now you - if you want a Christmas do gatecrash a royal property!

Part of me expected this to have more traction with the general public because it's something directly relatable to them. Huge corruption, lies etc don't relate to them on a person level but stuff like this does.

It's one of the things the opposition don't seem to grasp - it's often the trivial, mundane things that will gain traction rather than the big ones.

You get that a lot with people like that. Basically treat everyone else like basic bitches then start crying when they're held accountable for their own shit and act like they've been harshly treated. Can't remember the name, but there was a woman a year or two ago who was head of some company and getting paid an absolute fortune and when she was told to resign because of some data breach or something she basically acted like she had the same amount of authority as the office junior and how it was everyone's else's fault but hers and how dare people expect her to actual do the job she got paid over £100k for Poor dear had to have therapy cos of all the nasty people doing a witchhunt on her. Basically 100% of the rewards, 0% of the accountabilty.

With the resignation, It might need someone else but I can't help thinking about Barnard Castle and how the country was similarly up in arms about it and it slowly just got forgotten about. I fear the same might happen now. The restrictions deflection has probably already taken quite a few people's attention from it.

"Absence of evidence"?, if only there was police permanently on duty in Downing Street.

If that's her excuse she needs to be pushed on why nothing was done at the time given it would have been impossible for it to happen without the knowledge of the Met.

Quite.

The cynical people out there might think the lack of an investigation could be something to do with her being backed to the hilt by the government when she was being called upon to resign a few months back.

Things the police don’t investigate:
The prime minister breaking the law
Burglary
Rapists in their own ranks

Things the police investigate:
A spliff

There's a letter from Conservative peer, Lord Wolfson of Tredegar, who just happens to be the justice minister and a former barrister & QC to the Chair of the Justice Select Committee which clearly shows the time limit for prosecution is not 6 months from the offence, its 6 months from when evidence comes to light, the limit from the date of offence is 3 years.
