Partygate: What’s in the report - and what next for Boris Johnson?

There was excessive drinking and a minor altercation. Someone was sick. A swing was broken. Cleaners were disrespected. Messages were sent later congratulating each other they'd got away with it.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Not raucous student parties but the description of at least eight gatherings documented in Sue Gray's report - held in Number 10 Downing Street.
The place where the laws were devised is also the place where they were most flouted.
In her long-awaited report, Ms Gray blamed a failure of senior leadership, both political and official, for the party culture at the heart of government.
Mr Johnson told the Commons today he took full responsibility and was 'humbled'.
For now the judges are Tory MPs. Today they were sullen and mostly silent, but their daggers were sheathed - in public at least.

The funny thing is, is that Johnson keeps hammering on that we have to move on and that there are more important issues. We could have moved on months ago and put this whole thing behind us if he had actually took responsability. He is the sole reason we are still talking about this, dragging the whole country down with him amidst an economic crisis and war in Europe. Even if he really thinks he has done nothing wrong, the whole point of being a leader is that you put the countrys interests before your own. He should have realised that he alone had the power to end this simply by stepping down. His only chance to redeem at least some of the damage he has done, but of course, he blew that as well.

Well with the tories that's mostly what you'll get everytime it's what they are there for to make sure they stay multi millionaires and billionaires, and yes the labour party awash with champagne socialists but nothing wrong with people wanting to get on in life as long as they don't step on or over the lesser privelaged to get there. When people say where's an alternative an opposition they had one Corbyn but they cried ( after the mail, and sun told them too.) but he's a commie, terrorist loving jew hater, although he is none of those, they shout communist who wants all folk to have nothing,, no he was a socialist who wanted everyone to have decent share.

Boris is a serial liar, has no consience, is devoid of any responsibility for his actions, can not tell the truth and wishes to be accepted as the leader of the country for the future. I could never vote for this clown, but then I could never vote Labour either. So where does that leave us?

Keep him from resigning. Let him destroy the Conservative party. He’s going to down as the worst, most ineffective, most embarrassing and dishonest PM in British history. And on a side note…If I had a “work gathering” on the clock and drank alcohol at meetings, I’d be immediately dismissed.

What I’d like someone to ask is, who paid for the wine, pizza etc? Everything must have been accounted for, so let’s have the total amount tallied and presented to the PM as an invoice.
