A tricky one for the Government given this is a self-inflicted wound, though in the aftermath of the Carmichael, Drummond-Macbeath and Campbell scandals, the public have rather resignedly become used to such scandal and some are even desensitised to this sort of thing. Despite this, an Opposition win is no surprise.
Tommy Dawson conveys the anger of the Opposition, working the latest scandal in with a wider criticism about the failings of the government. He also does well to critique why Messervy-Davis was appointed in the first place and with the two combined, it's Dawson who leads the Opposition statements.
However, the Prime Minister does deliver a clear and authoritative statement condemning Messervy-Davis whilst making clear it was not supported by Cabinet colleagues or the civil service. Myerscough doesn't equivocate and so earns praise from those supportive of him and/or sympathetic to the scandal-ridden party he is leading.
1 XP each to Dawson and Myerscough.
