Boris stands down as MP with immediate effect part 3

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

If Boris had had parties in the flat…

Anyone got the ABBA party photos. There must be some.

Why has Bridgen got a giant paperclip on?

IClaudine · 19/06/2023 19:51

God Brigden is awful, but he is telling some truths.

I was wondering that.

Shut up Andrew. Why is the speaker still allowing this he’s told him to stick to the point once already.

Truth hurting, huh?

Stop quoting me Claud! You know I'm out of your league Grin

Your arrogance would give Johnson a run for his money, Jan.

Piggywaspushed · 19/06/2023 19:53

Oh dear janiie, when did you get relegated? Sorry to hear that.

itsgettingweird · 19/06/2023 19:58

Just switched it on. Jess Philips is amazing at public speaking.

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/06/2023 19:59

Jess Philips knocking this out of the park. She’s not wrong that this report is the first time in ages that it’s felt like parliamentary democracy will be ok and people are fighting back.

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/06/2023 20:01

Dawn Butler up now. Cannot wait for her to call BJ a liar. She totally deserves the opportunity.

itsgettingweird · 19/06/2023 20:03

Excellent point she's making about "must be allowed to stand up and challenge the system of the system, not being able to call someone a liar if they are lair"

"If you don't want to be called a liar - don't lie" 🤣🤣🤣 I tell the teens I work with the same thing!

I was just thinking the opposite, all a bit hand wringy and amateurish.

Zonder · 19/06/2023 20:04

Dawn Butler is speaking so well. Finally she has her moment.

Anyone manage to count how many times Jess P managed to say Johnson is a liar? 😁

Rhondaa · 19/06/2023 20:05

Haha a Jacob Rees mogg impression! Imagine if he did one of her..

IClaudine · 19/06/2023 20:05

I wish Dawn Butler was leader. She has a fire that Starmer lacks.

Rhondaa · 19/06/2023 20:06

God, I can't watch anymore they'll be having a group hug next.

IClaudine · 19/06/2023 20:06

"That was a JRM impression"🤣🤣🤣

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/06/2023 20:08

You not a fan of parliamentary democracy Janiie?

IClaudine · 19/06/2023 20:08

Rhondaa · 19/06/2023 20:06

God, I can't watch anymore they'll be having a group hug next.

Democracy not something that moves you? Not a surprise given your standards.

Does she know where it is?

Piggywaspushed · 19/06/2023 20:09

No one knows, dunc. She certainly isn't in her constituency.

Cornettoninja · 19/06/2023 20:09

DuncinToffee · 19/06/2023 20:08

Is Nadine Dorries there?

She’s waiting in the halls to conduct her scooby doo investigation.
