If Corbyn was accused of the same thing Johnson has, he would be getting a much rougher ride from his party members and supporters than the PM is - that's more of a comment on one of the differences between Labour and Conservative voters than on the two men involved.

You've proved there what I mean about Tory voters having to tie themselves up in knots to accommodate Johnson and Brexit. Yesterday there were speeches to "the law and order" party about increasing prison populations and keeping offenders in gaol longer while, at the same time, a blind eye is turned to the dubious behaviour of their leader.
There is a tacit acceptance that posh sounding rich men can and do take whatever they want, it almost feels like it's a celebrated piece of British culture. No one is surprised that Johnson is a pig with wandering hands and quite a sizable proportion appear to love him more for it.

Consecutive leaders of the opposition have been systematically destroyed by way of dredging up every minor detail of their past and twisting it to suit an agenda. Nobody cared then, the press take one warning shot at Johnson and ccmb goes into meltdown.
