However, I still think that in the scheme of things, this is trivial, but of course his detractors would not agree. Whether this is the end of his Prime Ministership, we will have to wait and see, but he will certainly be damaged by this.

The grand scheme of things is a global pandemic that resulted in unprecedented curbs on our freedom which we are only now, more than 2 years later, properly seeing the back of. There are many ways I would describe the behaviour of those who imposed those rules, only to then deliberately break them. ‘Trivial’ is not one of them.
Any politician, of any party, in any previous generation, would be preparing their resignation speech at this point. If Boris is not doing so, then that is extraordinary.
