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.

Can you fix my car?

Yes, I can fix your car.

Kindly fix my car.

I have fixed your car, look it goes.

I do not believe you have fixed my car.

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.
