They are, and as Angela Rayner notes (see Guardian Live Politics blog) the Electoral Commission report shows that he lied.
It is right that the Electoral Commission has fined the Conservative party but the prime minister must now explain why he lied to the British public saying he did not know who was behind the Number 11 flat refurb - all the while he was messaging the donor asking for more money.
This also means that he lied to the earlier enquiry conducted by his own adviser, Lord Geidt.

Ian Blackford also comments on the obvious lying (again, Guardian Live Politics blog).
Not only did [Johnson] breach electoral law – he lied about it too. In May he told Lord Geidt that he did not know who was behind plans to refurbish the flat until Feb 2021 – but the Electoral Commission has said Boris Johnson contacted Lord Brownlow in November 2020 asking for more cash for the refurbishment. Boris Johnson lies as easily as he breathes.
