Exactly what he did on 8 December when he said "I understand and share the anger" over the #DowningStParty - he got away with it that time.
Is the British public really going to fall for it twice?

Johnson can't apologise tomorrow because that would be an admission he was an accessory in an unlawful act, in which case he would have to resign (surely)

The Times and Daily Mail are urging Johnson to apologise for breaking the law, claiming that will allow him to carry on as PM
Can you imagine what they would be saying if it was Starmer who had held the parties?

@LBC Boris Johnson is hiding in a fridge, so he's sending Michael Ellis MP (the paymaster general) to answer questions about whether the Crime Minister was at a party in his own garden.

And if you think Sue Gray is truly independent and would ever publish a report calling for the resignation of the #CrimeMinister, I've got some Turkish PPE from a Tory donor to sell you.
She was chosen for a reason.

Tory ministers are keeping to the "It was right that the PM moved swiftly to set up the independent inquiry led by Sue Gray" bullshit.
I've yet to hear any journo ask why Johnson needs an inquiry to tell him if he attended parties in his own fkn house & garden

1/. In May, when we could only meet one person, the PM was drinking in the No.10 garden
When our Christmases were cancelled they we’re having parties
On 5/3/20, when the PM was saying “one theory is we could #TakeItOnTheChin” the 1st Briton died of #COVID19

2/. Around the table with @BorisJohnson are:
👉Dominic Cummings, with a glass of wine, one week before the #BarnardCastle story broke
👉Andrew Reynolds, the guy who’s investigating whether anyone in No.10 broke #COVID19 rules by attending parties
👉Carrie Symonds with the baby

3/. “You can meet one other person from outside your household in an outdoor, public place. But please keep 2 metres apart. Please stick with the rules & don’t take risks”

1/ The tide turning against #johnson over #DowningStParty is odd. Yes, it was terrible behaviour but we've come to expect it & his gov. has done much worse without the same scrutiny. So, why now and why over this? #DowningStreetChristmasParty
2/ #Johnson the populist was a useful means of defeating #JeremyCorbyn in 2019. A more obviously "respectable" establishment figure would have struggled* (*see Theresa May). But as Ken Clarke explained in 2019, Johnson is not the establishment's ideal PM telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
3/ This isn't because he is unusually venal & corrupt* (*see, for example, most British Govs.) but he doesn't participate in the parliamentary theatre in the correct way: a way that would disguise the fundamental corruption of Britain's ruling class...
