It's extraordinary (or I suppose, given this government, just ordinary) how similar the gaslighting messaging is from Johnson and cronies about Pincher and about partygate.
Didn't happen.
May have happened but didn't know about it.
Ok, did happen but didn't know specifics.
etc, etc.
Lying cunts.

I wonder if they're taught it once they enter politics, or if it's something ingrained from school.

It's not particularly sophisticated stuff is it? Literally the same stuff that you come out with when you're collared by the headmaster over something you were involved in.

This is not the first generation of politicians from that particular school but it does seem to be the first one that has zero compunction about lying / obfuscating. It has made me realise how weak our political institutions are and how much a government can act by fiat if they choose. Scary stuff.
