Boris Johnson insisted he is unable to get back from a 'long-planned' visit to the North East in time for the Commons debate on his abortive bid to save his ally from lobbying punishment. No10 blamed the fact he is travelling by train - even though it does not start until around 4.30pm. Mr Johnson repeatedly refused to apologise despite Tory fury at the bungled tactic, which ended with an humiliating No10 U-turn and Mr Paterson quitting. 'I don't think there is much more to be said about that particular case,' he told reporters in a scratchy interview during which he constantly tried to change the subject to Covid. The blustering came as an Ipsos MORI poll for the Standard gave the latest indication that the party has taken a huge hit, even though ministers have dismissed the row as a 'storm in a teacup'. Although much of the fieldwork was carried out before the dramatic vote last Wednesday, Labour had a lead for the first time in a year.
