I think the PM had some serious stuff to deal with and was unaware of what was going on behind his back.

Thus far, he has received a fine because a cake arrived in the room where he had arrived for a meeting. Let’s see what else transpires before we start judging him against Cummings’ allegations.

They were the ones who made the laws so it should have been made much clearer what was and what was not allowed.
I don’t think that the rule makers ever thought that a cake on its own represented a social event. The Met have got it wrong.

You must have a lot of faith in the police to say that. A court is the judge of whether or not you are innocent and I have no doubt they would come to a different conclusion on the cake incident.

BJ may still be found to have breached the law in relation to other incidents still to be judged, but it would be jumping the gun to accuse him of blatantly and deliberately breaking the rules as some have claimed.
