So it seems he has either been fined and/or officially criticised for:
1. Attending the birthday event, which the police have decided to call a party and to fine him. I have said from the start that this seems grossly unfair. The event lasted less than 10 minutes between other work activities and all those there met while at work anyway. And that is it from the point of view of the ‘criminality’ allegations, which really does not deserve all the arguments, debates and condemnations that have occurred over the months since the story broke.
2. Sue Gray has determined that there was a lack of senior leadership at No 10, for which the PM has accepted responsibility and is in the process of addressing.
Alll these other comments coming out of the woodwork are from disenchanted people who want to screw Boris, but if there was anything in this, Sue Gray or the police would have picked it up.
As I suspected from the start, this has been much ado about nothing as far as the PM is concerned. However, I do not condone the behaviour of those who were blatantly breaking the rules and carrying on as if it were like 1999.

As OB says, there's nothing to see here.
Where I work, we have many work events where people throw up and have a punch up - don't you know it's all part of the team building and bonding experience in the public service.
As for the cleaners and security staff, well they only come to work to be abused and ridiculed, they must do because when you consider the low wages they probably get they surely wouldn't come to earn a living so it must be their superb working conditions that keeps them coming back. In fact, thinking about it, I'm surprised these people don't offer to pay to for the privilege to work in the inner sanctum of government.
