Jakey Sleaze-Bogg: “A man stuck in an imagined Oxbridge of his youth.”
“Then came Andrea. She at least had a legitimate defence. She was too stupid to remember what she had and hadn’t said and so she couldn’t apologise for anything.”

#PrivilegesCommittee report shows Johnson's cronies propped up a serial liar then attacked an independent Parliamentary committee for finding against him. Sunak, these are your MPs & even one of your Govt Ministers. If you let this slide, you're complicit

The #PrivilegesCommittee was tasked by the House of Commons with whether Johnson misled the House of Commons.
They produced a preponderance of forensic evidence BUT some members of the House of Commons did not judge their findings to be true.

The seven MPs who voted against the Boris Johnson Partygate report
Some Tory MPs still backed the former Prime Minister after the damning report by the Privileges Committee

Graham Stuart - the MP for Beverley and Holderness - abstained in the privileges committee vote about Boris Johnson.
Perhaps he thinks voting would be an admission he was wrong. Maybe he thinks Boris will make a comeback and he doesn't want to ruin his chances.
Graham - you were elected by the people to represent them in parliament. Not attending such an important vote without giving a reason is utterly unacceptable.

I see both Rees-Mogg and Lia Nici, who both spoke strongly against the #PrivilegesCommittee report, abstained in the vote. Having their cake and eating it.

#PrivilegesCommittee has Johnson is a liar been said so many times in one place.
I'm shocked at some Tory twerps and impressed at a couple who are downright angry at him
Is Lia Nici staking her claim to be the new Mad Nads?
