For now, Bozzer has been fined and his moral authority is compromised. You have been swerving that issue all afternoon - I suspect you know perfectly well that there’s a problem here which is why you’re avoiding the question rather than outright denying it.

In this case, whataboutery is perfectly valid. If the PM gets a fine in similar circumstances to the Leader of the Opposition, who didn’t get a fine, how does that figure?
Both had a break from work amongst colleagues. Does a cake constitute a party but not a beer?
Well, you won’t agree with even the most logical argument on this subject, so we’ll have to agree to disagree. I have more important stuff to worry about than this nonsense.
