Well, he says that cake was presented to him on his birthday in the committee room where he was attending a meeting, and the extra people who dropped in were his work colleagues that he associated with all the time. It lasted all of 10 minutes.

He said he did not regard that as breaking the rules, which would mean he didn’t knowingly lie to Parliament - he was simply mistaken.

This is why Rees-Mogg describes this incident as ‘fluff’.

Of course his opponents will flog this one to death, but I still feel, when you look at the circumstances, this was no big deal.

Quite. So where’s the harm?
