He is the leader and those he chose/employs/works for him, even indirectly, did do something that hurt others so he can show some regret that it happened.
Johnson has already apologised several times.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties

What's interesting now is the situation with Sunak. Yes, Johnson can get fined and he will be even less of an electoral asset than he is at present. But Sunak's popularity is now wiped out so the obvious candidate to step into Johnson's shoes is gone.

Not for personally breaking the rules, though. He’s apologising for the behaviour of some of his staff at no 10.

Well, as he is Prime Minister, he’d hardly have the time to micromanage his staff, would he? He is trying to run the country, after all.

Police issue at least 30 more fines for breaches of lockdown regulations in Whitehall and Downing Street.

This comes on top of the 20 fines sent out last month.

No, if he broke the law, he broke the law. The fine will be paid and that’s that.

I would like to know what actually happened, though. I’m sure it will all come out in the end.

As one who leads, do you accept he has a responsibility to model the behaviour he requires of others? Do you not believe his failure to do so carries a moral burden above and beyond the paying of a fine?

On the first question, yes. On the second, the penalty is a fine. Anything over and above that is spite.
