Boris Johnson has moaned that Partygate has been "miserable" for people in Government - and insisted he didn't eat any cake at his lockdown birthday bash.
The under-fire Prime Minister said it wouldn't be "responsible" for him to quit as he faced repeated questions over lockdown parties and whether he lied over rule-breaking in a grilling from Mumsnet users in Downing Street.
Mr Johnson said he was "very, very taken aback" to get a fine from the Metropolitan Police for his surprise birthday party in June 2020.
