Except that has been explained many times, Grim, but you simply don’t want to accept the explanation.

Yes, and in their haste they incorrectly fined Boris. He would have appealed, but that would only have served to make the whole thing drag on for longer.

Yes, his wife and that designer chap were not expected to turn up with that cake, but Boris and the others were associating with them all the time anyway. Plus, it was between meetings, not after work.

The issue of receiving a fine for a law you endorsed is hypocrisy. If Starmer gets fined then the issue goes away with him. And people are then entitled to ask, if Starmer did the decent thing, why not Johnson?
Why should BJ be bound by Starmer’s own follies? It is not a resigning matter. You’d be better sticking to the ‘lying to the House of Commons’ wheeze if you want to argue that he should resign because that would be the convention. However, that has yet to be proved.
