Like this will make any difference. Clearly this shows he was at a party but Tory MPs have no guts to do anything about it.

This is my MP Rebecca Pow

Does it clearly show that ? I don't think it does

The picture shows an event which was obviously against the rules only the biggest Johnson detractor would try to claim otherwise.

Wake up you fools (Tory MPs).

what's Woody Harrelson doing there?

Boris admitted in PMQs that the event when the photo was taken is part of the police investigation 

[Crazyfool01]

Seems like a pattern before pmqs becoming very clear now

I don't think its a smoking gun photo...

It does look like a zoom / virtual quiz thing with a couple of people in the same office  - which wouldn't of broke the rules right ?    The they are even some what distanced.

Yea agree. This is a photo just before the one that has been realised before. He has just walked in the room they can say

And Keir had a bottle of beer...

Its defo a social zoom event - but a party ?

Starmer had a beer with a takeaway meal during a work meeting and that has been consistently debunked. This is a social quiz event which was explicitly prohibited at the time.

Lol Starmer wasnt having a party. He had a beer whilst on a break when working

 

A work social event with booze was illegal at that time. Under Bojos own rules. So yup, he broke the rules!

[Ozanne]

The mental gymnastics some people go to just to protect Johnson is mind blowing.

This wasn’t a work event, it was a social event in the office which wasn’t allowed. Johnson said previously in the Commons that no such event happen, this proves that it did and he was there. 

[Crazyfool01]

My bloody MP telling us that it’s not top of her constituents agenda …  I think she needs a reminder that it is amongst my friends and colleagues … how bloody dare she ffs 😡😡😡😡

If anything the Keir photo was worse...  

I think you're not looking at it objectively.

Fishing Barry ? I mean surely you don’t actually think this

Our votes aren’t the issue. No matter how much we disagree on other things in here we’re all pretty much onboard with getting rid of the Tories

 

It’s the vote of the average brit who knows nothing about the implications of their vote and don’t really do politics who are going to be deciding things. They will either do nothing or vote based on whatever their red top rag of choice tells them to. 

Yeah I know. But when I say everyone I mean kind of wider than here. Was more a futile call to the universe!

[steviewevie]

Yeah, you can argue away this photo...there's three of them and they're not close to each other... Not sure if this drip feeding of stuff damages Johnson or if people will just get bored of it.

Don’t feed him then, it whataboutery.

I don't think a zoom social event was ever against the rules.  In person socialising was banned not virtual based stuff. 

Three people in the photo don't live together. Only 2 households could mix at the time. So it was a zoom quiz but PM was breaking the rules with that part

 

But its beside the point. We know No 10 was partying during lockdown and there are more incriminating photos. Is there any point trying to defend him on it?

As I said it’s prove Johnson has lied in the Commons as well.

I think the polls are consistent that a) BJ was having parties and is lying about it b) he should resign

I dont really think he has loads of the general public on his side here
