Boris stands down as MP with immediate effect part 3

[DuncinToffee]

Tomorrow is the Commons vote on the Privileges Committee's findings that Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over Downing Street parties during lockdown

The vote is a free vote rather than being whipped either way. Tories have been told that the vote will be a one-line whip, meaning they will not be obliged to participate.

Boris Johnson is believed to have advised his backers to not vote against it.

Michael Gove confirmed on live tv that he will abstain

Tobias Elwood has u-turned on abstaining after hearing stories from voters

Rishi Sunak, who knows

Not to mention you can forgive and still vote for the report. Forgiving doesn’t mean you give a green light to behaviour happening by anyone again.
Similarly the fact that Boris ran away doesn’t mean that voting to support the report is fruitless. It’s about a founding principle of how our parliamentary democracy works.

Sir Stephen Timms taking the opportunity to bring up other times Boris lied at the dispatch box.

I had to go out and now DH is watching the football so I am relying on you lot and twitter/live blogs to keep me informed.

'Sir Stephen Timms taking the opportunity to bring up other times'

He's very waffly isn't he. They should be given a time limit and be told get to the point.

Tory MP Nick Fletcher says he will vote against Boris Johnson report

Sounds like we could have a division

👀

I'm sure listening to the sheer scale of Johnson's lying is quite discomforting.

Johnson has told a lot of lies

Good.

Bob Seely, another Tory voting for the report.

That's an interesting idea.

I've often thought the Johnson supporters are Labour plants. Designed to make the Tory's look worse

Bob Seely 'I'm over Boris and I'm over lockdown'. Well yes we're all over lockdown and Boris has gone. Just vote for it and move on. Jesus how can they all wang on repetitively like this for hours.

And Bob Seely has his own anti lockdown agenda anyway. Hea really gone down a rabbit hole here. Why doesn't someone tell him to get back to the point?

Goodness, these people are all crashing bores.

Conservative MP Nick Fletcher says only Conservative MPs should be allowed to judge if other Conservative MPs have broken the rules

"If Man City's star player had to sit in front of 7 of his peers for a hearing how fair would it be if 3 of them were Man United players? Not very"

You what now

and don't tell him it would still be a majority of Man City peers

Amazing how Parliamentary procedure & our elected officials having a say is suddenly an anathema to Johnson supporters.

Thangam to the rescue!

Dodgy sexed up dossiers making an appearance in this section.

Bob Seely now going all covid denier and quoting Sikora and quoting dodgy anti lockdown papers.

He's been told to shut up so not just 'Johnson supporters'.

They really love the sound of their own voices.

Hang on... just turned over. Is that BRIDGEN??!

This is Bridgen now. Can’t wait for this

Being reminded how daft/corrupt some of them are is useful! Seely rowed back on criticising Johnson after he was promised cash for his constituency.

Maybe lying at the dispatch box is going to be a side effect of vaccination.

Truth hurting, huh?

Oh, he's been shushed.

Spoke too soon....
