However, he was interrupted by Alex Armstong, who claimed: “You weren’t saying that when party-gate happened.”
Jonathan responded: “This was four years ago; if anyone broke the rules, it was the voice coach, not him; there was a perfectly legitimate work reason, which we’ve already discussed; he wasn’t in government at the time.”

Patrick interjected: “Why does that matter? Because you know all the people that got fined for sitting on park benches with a cup of coffee, they weren’t in government either.
“They had to pay fines, and said: ‘I was longer, harder, faster, never-ending lockdowns,’ that’s what he said at the time, but if you’re an actress, you can wander into his office.”
Jonathan fired back: “I don’t think Starmer was ever on a pulpit like and , calling for tougher sentences for people who were guilty of minor infractions to the rules.
“I said this at the time and I’ll say it again, the rules were absolutely ridiculous, they were totally impenetrable, no one knew what they were.
“They were introduced 15 minutes before they took effect without any parliamentary approval after the first introduction of the permission from Government to do that. Totally stupid, and no one should have even been criminalised.”

“So he does associate it, quite clearly, that breaking of the rules with some sort of criminal act; otherwise, why would that have come to his head.”
After Alex said: “The man is two-tier Keir, he’s now four-tier Keir; the man has got to resign,” Jonathan interjected: “Stop trying to make fetch happen, Alex, it’s not happening.”
