In Johnson came, looking pink and cross. Up went a timid little ‘hear hear’ from a clique of loyalist Tory MPs who still believe he can turn water into wine. Jacob Rees-Mogg, who had called the whole thing a ‘kangaroo court’ was there, of course.
Johnson got steadily pinker under cross examination. He got testy when Sir Bernard Jenkin pressed him on why he didn’t understand the events he attended obviously breached the rules because all the photos show there was no social distancing.
Eventually Johnson admitted that there was ‘imperfect social distancing’ not just at Downing Street but at events he attended. That’s a direct contradiction to what he told Parliament. It proves he lied.
