From "I thought it was a work event" to "nobody told me it was against the rules", here's a viral compilation of some of the classics.
"The PM clearly didn't organise to be given a cake," the transport secretary reasoned.
"I walked into the room and noticed a fire hazard. I immediately rushed over and blew the candles on the cake out" - hilarious reactions to fresh PartyGate allegations.
"Josephine sets a great example to us all by postponing her birthday party until we have sent coronavirus packing," the PM tweeted at the time.
“Regardless of any report, the Prime Minister clearly needs to resign. He’s lost all credibility.”
Rishi Sunak is seemingly distancing himself from the changes, referring to the move as "the PM's tax".
The PM "genuinely believes he didn't break any rules", one loyal MP told The Times.
"Put it this way, if Boris Johnson i still prime minister by the end of the week, I'd be very surprised", one source said.
The deputy PM declined to confirm that Sue Gray's report will be published in full this week.
