The worst thing about this all is the fact they are rushing to defend / excuse them when they are clearly bang to rights on the matter.
Rather than tackle it head on , constant ducking and diving making the issue ten times worse.
If they had come.out and said we had parties, understand public are angry , we had a major lapse in judgement during the pandemic and we let the people down etc , this would all go away.
Instead they are tackling one story at a time knowing full well the whole picture. It's almost like self sabeutaging their political future
