Would be interesting to know the time of the polling (ie had everyone seen Johnson's 'apology' at the time of polling?) and how far back the lost poll was that this is compared to.
I suspect the Conservative vote will decline further in the coming days, as people read of ministers' support for Johnson.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
The poll was conducted yesterday morning apparently so missed his apology/admittance.

It’ll last as long as it takes to find someone else to take the wheel of the sinking ship I suppose.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Is there no one in this government who really can’t think about how they are truly accountable to the electorate without being shamed into it? Although it’s hard to see any real heartfelt shame being expressed by anyone.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Don't worry, some civil servants will be fired for not informing ol' Boris this wasn't a work event.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Apparently Boris has discovered a covid case in his extended/many families. So he has to hide for a week....

Can’t he daily test as an essential worker? It’s not very “living with the virus” if we can all just take a week off because someone we know has snotters. Triple vaxxed, had it before, etc.

So he does understand the rules and knows how to follow them.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
I wonder if all those calling for heads to roll would be willing to be subject to investigation and prosecution for past events in quite the same way. "You have been found guilty of an event with 7 people attending when the limit was 6 on the evening of 21 May 2020, £200 fine."
If the event was illegal then prosecute accordingly, if not then so what? Foolish, insensitive all possible but investigate, deal and move on.

False equivalence. Having Aunt Maud and Uncle Bill over for a cheeky prosecco in the garden was not comparable. And even Johnson is not daft enough to patronise the British public with such an excuse.
Why so? Because your average member of the public does not set the rules, nor do they stand up in Parliament and advise the House that they condemned parties that took place at their house and then subsequently admit to being at one.
The issues here are rule-breaking, honesty and poor decision-making. Not features you want from someone in the highest position of authority.
The only moving-on will be done by Johnson. Either this summer when the 1922 Committee gets enough votes to run a leadership challenge, or in 2024's general election.
