The minister says Boris Johnson had not deliberately attempted to mislead on whether lockdown rules were broken.

In December 2021, Mr Johnson told MPs that "all guidance was followed completely in No 10".

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: "If the PM wants to come to Parliament and tell us that he was repeatedly lied to by his own adviser then let him do that. On Monday, No 10 said the prime minister would make a statement once the police investigation has concluded and the full report of an internal inquiry by senior civil servant Sue Gray has been published.for attending an event during the first coronavirus lockdown but argued the gathering could "be said technically to fall within the guidance".

Elsewhere, Welsh Secretary Simon Hart told Talk Radio that the parties were "a source of irritation for people" but that "the world has moved on a considerable distance".

Oh, he brought a bottle of white, instead of red ? JRM is another tool in lie mongering machine that is Toryism.

Look at his smirk he knows it’s scandalous but doesn’t care

He lives there what a joke this government is .people couldn't even go to there loved ones funeral why they party away and 50 pound fines is a joke to I've heard on the news normal people getting much higher they should be fined 50k each there the government

He seem to be given the wrong information on every thing oh oh oh silly us.

Boris Johnson's government is wiping out a heritage called Chelsea.

Even to the ones he attended?

Uh, when you’re the one in charge the buck stops with you. “I didn’t know any better” is not an acceptable excuse when you’re the leader of the government. And it’s such a mystery why so many of our political leaders today aren’t worth the toliet paper they use to wipe.

ignorance has no defence in law

Really, is that the best you can come up with?

When did ignorance of the law become a valid defence?

Was he aye 🤦🏻 fuck all the way off 🖕

Since when was ignorance of the law a defence for a serial offender?

Nonsense He was at the Parties !!!!

If the Tories are actually saying that BorisJohnson attended these parties but didn't know they were parties and believed them to be 'work meetings', a) he is not fit for office b) No 10's 'work meetings' are not benefitting us in any way- the whole lot of them should be sacked.

More fodder for the sheep...

On the other hand, as the PM was indisputably at some of the lock down parties, he would have been able to see for himself that all the rules (which he kept spouting at us all, night after night) were not followed. It follows that he knowingly lied to Parliament.

He obviously means the wrong address

And the one he was at?

You Tories take people for fools. Do you really think they will believe your nonsense fluffy.?

You mean to say he has no brains to understand the law. So him and you Fiuccckkeerrrss make the law and rules without understanding. You want someone to explain what you have written and voted for. AHS

It boils down to trust and lack in many cases...the UK public has had enough of the Tories and their self serving ways

He literally read them out to everyone else. Lies from scum.

For one who prefers to put on a display of calm affability, J.R-M is beginning to twitch rather a lot. Suffering fools gladly?

Choosing to believe without a challenge!

please prime minister Scott Morrison and all news ABC news share with your govts and all society the world this is message videos

If you start naming people who were fined then i presume you will have to name every single person ! Let's see the names scrolling across our TV screens BBC ! Start with the man up my street who hired a bouncy castle complete with 30 adults and 40 kids for his sons birthday !

Cos I told him the ballocks to give him excuses

Jacob_Rees_Mogg you are another joke of the government!

Who votes for this ghoul

Gaslighting lying crooks.

Lies are cheap and apparently Christian!

Boris given the wrong information on lockdown parties? So, he sees people on a stage, in tights and tutu's, dancing and spinning on tip toes, an advisor says it's definitely not a ballet..'fair enough..' says Boris, '..not a ballet, good. I do struggle identifying the obvious..'

It's just fluff Jacob!

Yet another snake 😡

Has somebody checked Rees Mogg as he’s clearly delusional.

Just two years to go until we vote out these parasites

sure we belive you............not

Imagine contorting yourself to try to defend this! Why on earth are some people in such denial of the truth in front of them?

What a load of bollocks the 19th century old boys network being rolled out to his defence.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I see…… So it’s someone else’s fault. The easiest sign of a bad leader and organisation: a leader who blames others and subordinates that allow it. JohnsonTheCorruptPM CorruptTories

What a load of bollox

He obviously wasn’t talking to the missus she made the rules up

They really do think we are all thick don't they? No moral compass at all...

Utter bull

Oh p l e a s e stop JRM, enough!

I’m sure he was 🥱 pull the other one !

His bloody laws... No excuse. Like he & Mogg 'didn't understand their own Brexit deal, so it is unworkable' I suppose. Thundering morons who don't understand what millions in the UK do. Always someone else's fault...

Yes was lied to? Oh the irony.

Amber Rudd resigned. BorisJohnson said he takes full responsibility, therefore BorisJohnson has to resign for misleading the house. If BorisJohnson doesnt resign, he doesn't take full responsibility & is therefore guilty of intentionality misleading the house. Catch22

This makes it worse he didn't know what law he had passed through parliament 🤦

Trust him to stick up for BJ.

By his own eyes and ears?

Are these people for real do they really believe that the people who elected them are fools

Grasping at straws now, Rees-Mogg?

Nah bullshit! It was obvious at the time that he was going down a third party hearsay defence. Sort of breaks down somewhat when it turns out he was actually present at some of them 🤔 or will he state that he was told he wasn’t there 🙄

Taking us for idiots this really street wise toff

Liar !!! BBC IS ENABLING THE LIES TO REPORT THIS RIDICULOUS HEADLINE! ‘JOHNSON REPEATED RULES ON A NIGHTLY BASIS!! IGNORED THEM BREAKING THE LAW! NOW USES ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!’ FIXED IT!😡 ToryCovidCatastrophe

Just insults every one of us with this rubbish, none more so than the 1000’s of families denied the right to be with their loved ones at their last minutes. Calls himself a Christian and comes out with more lies to defend the indefensible! ReesMogg ToriesPartiedWhilePeopleDied

More lies

Hmmm...wonder if we can use that line with the judge when we break the law in any way? 'You were over the limit and traveling 90 in a 30 zone.' I DIDN'T KNOW THE RULES, YOUR HONOR. I WAS GIVEN THE WRONG INFORMATION.

Whatever!!! Talk to the ✋

Bracing for a fine, obviously!

Absolutely joke and unfortunately the vast majority of the population voted for this. The country has never been as bad

What information is that then? The information he bloody wrote and voted on in the House of Commons? Too many ultra rich spivs in power

Biggest bullshiter they have

It's a competition for liars.

The wrong information being 'its fine, you won't get caught out'?

What about the information he acquired necking Cheese and quaffing wine at the parties he did go to? I thought ignorance was no defence in law.

We are not as dump as you make us out to be the whole Tory party is now based on lies and greed and the people see through it

Probably best if they all just kept their mouths shut but they can’t!

So either: a) Rees-Mogg is lying now, Boris knew and lied to parliament when he said rules were followed. A minister who knowingly misleads the house is meant to resign b) Boris didn't know the rules he came up with, he got on TV and told us about for months, so he is incompetent

What is this fluff spouting from your trap Jacob_Rees_Mogg

Why blockade, England is not free?

So he not only lies, he is gullible as well? JohnsonOut70

This guy leaking for a PM who is a liar and a fraud - Eton protecting Eton nuffsaid

Hang on, Johnson attended some of the parties. One was even in his flat. He would have to be a bit cloth eared not to know about what was going on. 🍾 🧳 🎉

Ignorance of the law is no excuse Full stop.

😂😂😂 seriously!!

Boris Johnson given wrong information on lockdown parties, says Jacob Rees-MoggJacob Rees Mogg has moved to defend the Prime Minister by claiming he did not have the right information when he told the House of Commons that no Covid laws had been broken. Wasn’t he at these parties, did he lie to himself? He should make sure he gets better quality advice in future ! Which presumably means the PM is either too stupid or just unable to form his own opinion on the legality of the parties he attended during the Lockdowns

Boris Johnson is an asset in the local elections – but on rival parties’ leafletsThe prime minister fails to feature on a number of Tory flyers for the 5 May polls, but his opponents are putting him front and centre BUT they are local elections - national politics should not be on the agenda but YOU the Guardian are encouraging it. Shame on you and your hacks. You have to be kidding, he is no asset, it is all down to him that the Tories have lost all my family's votes. We have no trust or respect any longer in that party, the sooner they are gone the better incredibly difficult to understand why the UK media has gone moot in the RussiaReport which was supposed to be made public in 2020...probably just another one of those weird coincidences
