Why undermine the anti-bullying message? Why not say she's very sorry, she was never given feedback so could never adjust her behaviour, she wasn't supported in the job, things went badly wrong and she's very sorry. But of course Boris and team avoid apologising (almost) at all costs so excuses have to be made.
The last time they all came out to defend someone was Dominic Cummings who was then kicked out 6 months later, partly, because he and his team were calling Boris' missus an insulting nickname based on her behaviour and her looks. It's just all cheapening politics and setting a really, really bad example.
