I don’t think it was intentional but the speed that he dealt with it indicates that he has a more effective adviser than Johnson.
Ultimately, it’s a not the most heinous of crimes and the quick mea culpa looks far better in the public view than trying to wriggle out of it and giving a “one rule for them” impression.
A week is a long time in politics and I doubt anyone will be talking about this by Monday.

Utterly against this but for reasons you wouldn’t expect. People who don’t work won’t be asked to pay this. Like going to the chemist or dentist, yes, I’m one of those odd people round here who has to pay. The proposals won’t apply to the retired, unemployed, disabled etc etc etc.

BBC News - Sturgeon: I trust 16-year-olds to make decisions
Sorry but I don’t. I remember 16. Not a time to make life changing decisions
Why not 15? Why not 12?
And yet it was your generation who made the push for Brexit.
