He didn't know it was against the rules and nobody told him And with a single bound...
Never mind they were his rules. And ignorance is no excuse.
Even if were true, anyone with a shred of integrity would say "my mistake, it's fair cop". He really is a disgrace, but he clearly can't help it. The people who prop him up can help it, and they are a bigger disgrace.
I think he will be found to have misled Parliament, but quite what that implies I'm not sure. He obviously thinks he's coming back to win the next election.
