I deem them a waste of time because all those questions were based on the nonsense being spouted by Dominic Cummings, a man you derided not that long ago for his capacity to lie.
Now, it seems, he’s totally believable.
Starmer would have been right to demand an investigation, but having had that reassurance, he should have shut up until he had the facts.

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

The bit in bold. Again, a judgement you are making before the facts are known.
As for being responsible for those for whom you are responsible is concerned, as you say, he has already agreed that, and he has made changes to prevent a repeat of it.

Will you now do the honourable thing and resign?

The PM said that he was told that no laws had been broken. To his knowledge at that point, they had not.
He will not resign for the actions of his staff. He has already removed the culprits.
If the PM is found to be personally culpable, that is a different matter.
