What are you saying?

I think there may be a suggestion he’s got his eye on a seat in Mid Beds.

I wonder if that might turn it from a marginal to a labour seat.

He will submit his comments in response to the Privileges Committee in the next fortnight. He will still hope to reduce the suspension to under 10 days.

Do we think he might have a go at at Mid Beds? (if Conservative Party agree).

Could this be a neat chicken run? - claim martyrdom and then pop up elsewhere without having to face down a by-election.

I'm going to riot if he stands in my seat. Who's got placards?

So fucking Trumpian his statement

Yup. “Look what all those nasty people have done to me”.

"It is very sad to be leaving parliament - at least for now"

At least for now.

And still they sink lower. General Election NOW!

God yes!
Witch hunt!

Can anyone explain to me, what is the problem with ten days suspension when he doesn't do anything anyway. Why is he kicking back against this?

He's claiming it's a 'political hit job'

Part of his statement here.

It's as if there wasn't a Tory majority on the Privileges Committee at all.

"Can anyone explain to me, what is the problem with ten days suspension when he doesn't do anything anyway. Why is he kicking back against this?"

It triggers a by-election and he clearly doesn't fancy his chances.

I just popped out to pick up DD and missed all this

Off you trot Boris

Oh we're horrid, the British public. Poor Boz, jumped before pushed and still 'not me guv, look at that beer and curry over there'. And Mrs Tishell gone as well! And Donnie boy over the water lined up for a slap on the wrist. Things may be looking up. Good riddance to them all.

How dare he criticise the privileges committee

Full statement.

Seems to have forgotten that he claimed Sue Gray vindicated him and was’t the reason he was forced to resign. That was his actions (or lack of them) over Chris Pincher.

But then telling the truth never was his strong point.

Indeed. Why is it sad to leave parliament when he has hardly ever attended?

I think the people of Uxbridge may dispute how well he’s served them. Particularly over the last year.

Dories and Johnson forming a new party now?

I do hope so, I need a laugh

HIGNFY is already out of date

That would probably require one or the other of them to do some work though.

Spare a thought for janiie and clav tonight

They've just announced it on Question Time to cheers from the audience.
