There are literally countless examples of Westminster politicians doing things quite openly and deliberately that are grounds for being removed ... at this point, I don't think anyone even expects anything to happen ... and the Westminster government has learned that there is basically zero fallout from just ignoring it.

I think part of the issue with Wee Nic is that she has always operated from a "we're better than this" platform, and if it sticks in people's minds that she's potentially just another dirty politician, that impacts her credibility when she calls out others (like Boris).
