I have already said taking it all into account, Johnsons (and the Tories) behaviour was worse, and whats more it's proven, so thats not in question.
The issue now is that Labour made a huge deal of this - claimed the moral high ground, talked endlessly about it, and it may well be the case that actually they were involved in something similar.
I don't see how it's different. A cake at the end of a meeting, or a beer and curry? Thats what I'm saying.
Starmer should welcome an investigation to be able to clear his name.
