Perhaps none of the "parties" contributed to the death of anyone?

Did he have a Colin hidden in there?

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Because quite frankly, they’re just parties, and he said Boris was the biggest liar. I think any Prime Minister which lied to get us in to an illegal war that cost many many lives, is the biggest liar of them all, but this is Labour after all.

It was a working party. :D

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Right, if that's the defence I fear the country could be heading towards a massive shortage of piss, due to the government taking it all. Just because bliar didn't end up in The Hague doesn't mean bozo gets a free pass besides which it could be argued their behaviour led to the population breaking the rules enmasse which did lead to deaths, many of them.

It’s about getting things into proportion.

In my experience, people were breaking the rules well before we got to hear about the (ahem) parties.

You cannot seriously conflate lies about holding parties (if that is proved) with lies that directly led to many deaths in an invasion. Unless, of course, the person making such claims lacks a sense of proportion.

If 'not as bad as an illegal war' is the standard you want to set for politicians then fine, just be consistent when it comes to others.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

I doubt that is what OB is saying.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Quite right, pip, but everything gets twisted on here.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

No need to be worried about Blair these days - he's not in power. Like others who came before him, he was rightly held to account at the time.

We need to focus on the present.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Wish someone would tell him that ;)

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Think it's called 'whataboutery' Andrew and conveniently ignores the fact the Conservative leader and party were fully behind the war at the time. The main opposition came from within the Labour Party...

Anyway what about that terrible tory Ted Heath taking us into the EEC? What a rotter ! Or Neville Chamberlain signing a pact with Hitler...

At the end of the day it's about how trustworthy our PM is? As time has gone by since the flatgate decoration farce it's becoming harder and harder place to any trust in what the man says or claims.

It's not going to make his position in dealing with any other world leaders any more tenable.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

That has nothing to do with the question you asked. I do not advocate for a free pass for Boris but I can tell the difference about lying about a party which harmed no-one and lying about something which got people killed.

Pity you can't differentiate.
