Johnsonism follows a different trajectory
"There were no parties at Downing Street during the lockdown"
"There may have been parties but the law was fully followed and I didn't attend them"
"I may have attended them, but I didn't realise at the time that they were parties"
"I can't tell if I attended parties till Sue Grey's report tells me whether I did"
"Sue Grey's report can't be published because it's now under police investigation"
"OK I attended parties but everyone was at it"
"I quit but I'm going to hang around claiming the salary for a good while longer"
