The comments made by Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, the Labour MP for Slough, on Twitter on 16 January 2022.
Many of us had to endure the pain of losing loved ones during the pandemic, unable to properly say goodbye or comfort them in their final moments.
After his #PartyGate, if Boris Johnson had any respect for grieving families in our country, he’d resign.
The statement made by HM Queen Elizabeth II on 13 January 2022.
With The Queen’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen.
The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.
The comments made by Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, on 12 January 2022.
While our hardworking NHS staff were going without PPE, Tory politicians saw an opportunity to line their cronies’ pockets.
A judge has now ruled the ‘VIP lane’ unlawful but that may be just the tip of the iceberg. Even now Ministers are covering up key documents while critical messages and minutes have gone missing.
Only a fully independent investigation will get to the bottom of how £3.5bn of taxpayers’ cash were handed out in crony contracts and ensure it can never happen again.
The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition, in the House of Commons on 12 January 2022.
We’ve got the prime minister attending Downing Street parties – a clear breach of the rules. We’ve got the prime minister putting forward a series of ridiculous denials which he knows are untrue – a clear breach of the ministerial code. That code says ministers who knowingly mislead parliament will be expected to offer their resignation.
The party’s over, prime minister. The only question is will the British public kick him out, will his party kick him out or will he do the decent thing and resign?
The comments made by Anne Marie Morris, the MP for Newton Abbott, on 12 January 2022 after losing the Conservative Party whip for supporting cuts to energy bills.
It is deeply disappointing to have had the whip removed by the government, especially on a matter of simply standing up for what I believed to be the best interests of my constituents.
I believe removing VAT is the right thing to do and I won’t apologise for supporting measures that would help my hard-working constituents at a time when the cost of living is rising.
I believe that any disagreement over parliamentary procedure will always come second to standing up for the best interests of my constituents.
The statement made by Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, in the House of Commons on 12 January 2022.
I want to apologise. I know that millions of people across this country have made extraordinary sacrifices over the last 18 months.
I know the anguish they have been through – unable to mourn their relatives, unable to live their lives as they want or to do the things they love.
I know the rage they feel with me and with the government I lead when they think in Downing Street itself the rules are not being properly followed by the people who make the rules.
And though I cannot anticipate the conclusions of the current inquiry, I have learned enough to know there were things we simply did not get right and I must take responsibility.
No. 10 is a big department with a garden as an extension of the office which has been in constant use because of the role of fresh air in stopping the virus.
When I went into that garden just after six on May 20, 2020, to thank groups of staff before going back into my office 25 minutes later to continue working, I believed implicitly that this was a work event.
With hindsight I should have sent everyone back inside. I should have found some other way to thank them.
I should have recognised that even if it could be said technically to fall within the guidance, there are millions and millions of people who simply would not see it that way, people who have suffered terribly, people who were forbidden for meeting loved ones at all inside or outside, and to them and to this House I offer my heartfelt apologies.
All I ask is that Sue Gray be allowed to complete her inquiry into that day and several others so that the full facts can be established.

The party is over Boris Johnson.
Resign.
The comments made by Alastair Campbell on Twitter on 12 January 2022.
Just be clear what just happened. The serving Prime Minister just admitted breaking a law he had legislated for and misleading Parliament and public about having done so. And he thinks he should stay. And his rotten stinking party seem to think so too.
The comments made by George Foulkes, a member of the House of Lords (Baron Foulkes of Cumnock), on 10 January 2022.
I am concerned that Baroness Mone has not registered her interest in PPE Medpro and also that her action appears to bring the house into disrepute. If Baroness Mone and her husband were involved in the company then it appears to me that she should have registered that as an interest, and she may have breached the rules against lobbying when she referred the company to the government. And with this conduct and her denials in relation to the company, she may have brought the house into disrepute, so I believe the commissioner should investigate.
The comments made by the legal team of Michelle Mone, a member of the House of Lords, on 8 January 2022 in response to allegations made by the Guardian Newspaper.
