This afternoon the Commons are going to have a vote on the sanction recommended by the Privileges Committee against Boris Johnson for his many lies over Partygate. It is, frankly, a rather toothless and pointless sanction under the circumstances, but given that it's all that is available, it's welcome.
There is a great deal of anger at what Boris did: that he partied while people died.
But, actually, it's much worse than that.
Because what those many parties at CPHQ and No.10 show is that those involved simply were not taking the threat seriously. And anyone working there who was taking it seriously will have found their work impeded by those who were not.
It's not that Boris partied while people died. People died because Boris partied.
There is no sanction adequate for that man.
