Yes, but the anti-Boris brigade won't be happy with the result, and Starmer will have some explaining to do.

If they pay the fine then the matter is over, many have done this and got on with their lives and work.

People in Government broke their own laws, can't see how that leaves Starmer with explaining to do.

I am talking about the waste of so many questions on Question Time in the house that he wasted on this nonsense, accusing the PM of being personally responsible.

I know!

Can you imagine the sheer cheek of people who think that the person in charge of creating and implementing the laws we all had to follow has to be responsible for personally following those laws, and be responsible for ensuring that those who worked directly for and with him had to follow those laws?

inconceivable!

Ignore those who remind you of his words after the North Shropshire by-election last year

Quote:

Never mind Starmer - you were the one who repeatedly told us no laws had been broken. Now we know they were broken by at least 20 people.

Will you now do the honourable thing and resign?
