The Prime Minister’s utterances on partygate at that Dispatch Box have proven to be the fantasy that we all knew they were. Allegra Stratton resigned for merely joking about a party; she has more integrity in her little finger than the Prime Minister could ever hope to possess.

Will he sacrifice anyone or any institution—including his own party—to try to keep his ever-weakening grip on power?
