He paid a fixed penalty notice for breaking his own law. The first UK PM to have broken the law. You don't pay an FPN if you're in the clear!

The Sue Gray Report can't be far off publication, either.
I don't know about that. Some say Tony Blair took us into an illegal war with Iraq. If true, that is far more serious.

It all depends on how you judge these things, but you are being very selective in your judgements, aren't you?

As for paying the fine, you know as well as I do that he did so to make this go away. Had he not paid the fine, this would have just dragged on even longer.

Boris has taken us out of the EU, as the electorate wanted, he dealt with Covid and was the only leader to see straight away the futility of lockdowns and the solution was a vaccine, (which he ensured would be available in record time), he's getting us through this economic crisis without plunging the country into unnecessary catastrophic debt, he's got his sights on ensuring that the levelling up programme at last embraces those forgotten red wall areas that Labour has taken for granted for so long.... Why would you say that?

Oh, sorry, I forgot, you support the other side and see Boris as a major electoral threat that you can only counter by besmirching his character.

Silly me.
