Premise 1 - we have been repeatedly told "there was no party"
Quote:
In repeatedly denying a bash ever took place ("there was no Christmas party", we were told), the prime minister, his senior ministers and spokespeople seem to have lied albeit unwittingly.
During a tense briefing of journalists this afternoon, Boris Johnson's two spokespeople refused to say who was responsible for giving the PM incorrect "assurances" that no event had taken place.
They were also unable to confirm whether top civil servant Simon Case was in attendance at the bash, even though he is the man tasked with investigating it.
Government sources later clarified he (Simon Case) was not present.
Boris Johnson's spokespeople did say, however, that the PM was not a guest at the party.

In summary, it has been confirmed by Government sources that both Simon Case and Boris Johnson did not attend the party that the Government sources said didn’t happen…
(I wonder if these "No. 10 spokespeople who seem to have lied albeit unwittingly" were attendees at the party that didn’t happen, as the (non-)party was held at No. 10?)
