Sajid Javid told the Commons he gave the Prime Minister the benefit of the doubt on partygate, but added “I do fear that the reset button can only work so many times”. He said: “When the first stories of parties in Downing Street emerged late last year I was personally assured at the most senior level by my right honourable friend’s then team that, and I quote, ‘there had been no parties in Downing Street and no rules were broken’. “So I gave the benefit of doubt. And I went on those media rounds to say that I’d had those assurances from the most senior level of the Prime Minister’s team. “Then we had more stories. We had the Sue Gray report, a new Downing Street team. I continued to give the benefit of the doubt.” After saying that “enough is enough”, Mr Javid said he appreciated the Prime Minister’s “kind and humble words, and his humble spirit when I went to see him yesterday”. He added: “But I do fear that the reset button can only work so many times. There’s only so many times you can turn that machine on and off before you realise that something is fundamentally wrong.”
