That's v interesting.

He's clearly not given up hope - maybe he'll 'rest' & be a fabulous backseat driver whilst racking up speech £££ until the next election, and then swoop.

When you’ve spent your life not being accountable for anything and having everybody else clean up your mess it must be a bit of a shock to suddenly find out there are consequence for behaviour.

The privileges committee will press on with publishing report into Boris Johnson after concluding he misled Parliament over partygate

Given that he is not responding, publication of the report is now likely to be expedited unless Govt tables a 'rescinding motion'

So how many days suspension do we think they went for?

I reckon 30.

Why did Dorries resign first?

We could start a book.

I'll go 11

Is Johnson in Africa? Maybe it's a time thing?

It loads resign, then what ?
An election in July would be good
Just before my holiday , thanks

Johnson had to publish his dishonours list before resigning?

Thought and prayers!

If we pray hard enough will the Johnson fans appear? That would just finish the evening perfectly.

I'm not sure clav works unsocial hours.

I blame Jeremy corbyn.
Nobody has for a few days , so I wanted to make it right..

May I try one.

Why so many threads about one MP stepping down and not another.

@the80sweregreat I blame Keir's Beer.

See, we don't need Janiie or Clav.

Can’t believe we’ve all forgotten about Rayner’s air buds so quickly.

I have had a lovely day out today, and this has rounded things off perfectly.

Aw, poor Clav will have to dig around for another rotten bone to throw at us.

I blame the kangaroos

On a tangent, why have politicians started using the phrase 'for the birds' all the time? It's a horrible modern Americanism, the full phrase is 'shit for the birds '. I hate it.

I guess they can't use the word 'shit'

Ofcourse they could just use a differenr phrase

Doesn’t seem like the privileges committee are that happy with Boris’s course of action and letter.

Just watched bit on newsnight. I like Faisal Islam but he wasn't exactly penetrating of the rubbish spouted by the Tory MPs

Coherent? lol

No, 2005 is when she was elected to replace Jonathan Sayeed, the odious previous incumbent. Honestly, the fuckwits Tories round here don't half pick 'em.

Yep. Speaking at a high school graduation today.
