If Oliver Dowden had any self respect he’d resign for this. 

So he won’t then … DC is going to have shit on all of them … a DOminic dirty dossier … he’ll have some influence for a while yet I’d say

Wow, must be important to push Novak off top slot

Don't normally tend to join in with the pile-ons with regards to Laura, but this tweet is staggeringly misreading the room. Why does she think revealing how people felt at the time and thus that she has sat on this story for almost 2 years without saying anything is a good position to take?

No spinning his way out of this … Boris wanting a slice of the news action … now the balls in the court of the investigation team …

It’s almost like Johnson didn’t mean anything he said in those comments and now will have to lie in the bed he has made for himself.

The story doesn't say if he was at the party or even knew about it so bit unfair if he becomes the bad guy just because he read the announcement. Obviously if he was one of the ones there then it's indefensible, but we should hold judgement till we know the facts.

I do think all MPs that attended this party should resign, but considering one of them was Boris I won't hold my breath.

latest partygate is going nowhere, how can the public be outraged about something the press have sat on for two and a half years.

I meant if Dowden is saying we could only meet one person outside for exercise whilst a party was going on or being organised then if he had any self respect he would go.

I think Dowden should resign anyway because he's an awful waste of space.

Well there's your problem. 

Surely anyone still a member of Johnson's government lost their last shred of that a long time ago

Let it ride out so it's not at front and center of anyones minds before piping up?! What sort of tactic is that?

The leader of the opposition needs to be leading the charge ffs.

[JoeyT]

Sleepy Starmer is awake. Clearly likes a lie in.

The stock response from the ministers doing the news circuit is as usual laughable...

"I didn't go"

"I won't be drawn on if I would of gone"

"there is an investigation"

Typical bollocks lol

Just waiting for

"Fuckers never invited me"

It's ongoing...they are being investigated by this Gray person, and then we'll see. Starmer can call for Johnson's resignation, but that will just more likely make tory MPs be more supportive of Johnson.
