Totally wrong.
Partygate is about rule breaking. Boris imposed rules which in the main the rest of us obeyed. Boris broke his own rules on numerous occasions, and was found out and fined by the Police.
But he compounded that by lying about it to everyone. If he lies to me I expect it, he is a politician and they are often economical with the truth. But he lied to MPs and Parliament which is a very serious offence.
The consequences, losing his Premiership, losing the Inquiry, losing his seat, were entirely down to his own contempt for the people and the standards of office.
