Imagine the scenes.

Unfortunately I fear it’s much more likely to be a statement addressing it, denying it, saying things like it would be unfair until the investigation has run its course and then using the fact he’s addressed it to not answer any questions in PMQs about it.

This.

He’ll be pointing the finger at himself earlier and will try to make it sound “boring” because it’s already been dealt with.

Everyday was a party at no 10 seemingly, another one…

It seems pretty obvious he isn’t going to admit anything and just lie his way out of it.

Why change the habit of a lifetime?

That Phones4u donor threatening to pull out of giving them money will obviously be their main (only?) concern.

They’ll let him get away with it, that’s why he does it because he’s so privileged that he’s rarely faces any repercussions for his actions.

One tory MP down

"Serial backbench rebel Anne Marie Morris has had the Conservative whip removed after she voted for Labour’s opposition day motion proposing a VAT cut on energy bills on Tuesday"

[Ryan1984]

Which distraction tactic will they use to take the heat off this party stuff?

Immigrants? Statues? The glorious power of Brexit? How evil the ‘woke’ BBC are? More fucking over the arts and culture sector?

I’ve seen their lines on the BBC today: Focusing on the achievements and setting out how they’ll ‘build back better’/‘level up’. Essentially, ignoring the elephant in the room.

So, a sincere apology, then move on.

[Memory Man]

If he had just accepted and admitted it and apologised but not resigned it would almost be out of the news cycle by now. 

its bad they had the party but not just admitting & apologising for it has made it 20x worse.

at the end of the day in comparison to what you can do today 30 people outside is hardly egregious (it was more so back then of course) but i think its the denial and bluster thats worse than the actions themselves
