He didn’t apologise for the party, he apologised for the offence it caused and the impression it made.
There’s a world of difference.

He actually apologised for a the offence caused by press conference rehearsal that referred to the party, whilst still denying that the party took place.

yes, we still await the investigation in to whether was a party or not
people will hear an apology was made though and not worry much about the detail.

You can put a cross next to someone's name in a few years time. And every 4 years, rinse and repeat.
See, Western Democracy is wonderful like that. So much power given to the people. I think we should kill even more people abroad so we can continue to export this wonderful freedom loving model.
So it seems there were three separate parties, including one in the PMs personal flat, which were held on 13/11, 27/11 and 18/12. The Cabinet Secretary is being asked to investigate the last one only, which coincidentally is also the one which Boris Johnson might not have attended. But I'm sure that's all a big coincidence.
Given the amount of crap the nation has taken and come back for more I'd say it'll be a few decades before anarchy and military on the streets.

Leaks to the press from insiders. There was definitely a leaving do in November which Boris Johnson gave a speech at, even commentating how full the room was.
The press even know whose leaving do it was.

BJ just thrown his staff under a bus. Says he's "furious"
Cut the poor guy some slack. How is he meant to know there has been a party under his own roof?

Cummings has posted on Twitter regarding the party in the flst and also raised questions about the "bubble" policy.
The last allegarion already out there as alledgely a friend was round for Christmas.
That's never been cleared up either.

Maybe Douglas 'Dougie' Smith organised the party.
He has previous.
He has previous.
I guess that will depend on the alternative.

13th November was the day that Cummings left no 10, His leaving do, perhaps?

The timing is just right, they’d have known by last weekend new regulations are coming.
Likely WFH and Covid passports.
I raised an eyebrow when I went for my booster last week. My first jab wasn’t on my NHS record and the admin guy was very insistent that it was vital I got that corrected straight away, making me think passports are on the way.
If you want to drive the Tory poll count through the floor and incite a vote of no confidence , that was the perfect time to leak a video clip of them laughing about breaking the rules, that you’ve been sat on for almost a year.
The pieces are in play. The game is afoot!

Cue all the 'Stick to the light entertainment and comedy, respectively' comments...
Not sure that would be particularly effective - it sounds like many of those there were Downing Street staffers, most/all of which will have been working that day.
Additionally, any of the other comings-and-goings could be for legitimate work, meetings etc.
It'a also possible any of those who were in Number 10 were working and didn't attend the party - reports suggest that Johnson was one of them, other than briefly saying a few "Merry Christmas and thanks for all your work" type words.
It might need someone to whistleblow. Shame Dirty Dom had already jumped ship at that point...

Except he hasn't. There are more restrictions yet to come on imports in 2022, and Lord Frost (unelected bureaucrat) isn't happy with the Northern Ireland protocol that Lord Frost negotiated.
The effects will rumble on for years, so nothing is done, except to create an unholy mess that nobody likes.
Yes. For many he got Brexit done and has introduced world beating Covid vaccination, and if Jeremy Corbyn were in charge we'd be going cap in hand to the IMF, and the nation would be swamped with illegal Muslim terrorists.
