Yvette Cooper who is doing a fantastic job as chair of the Home Affairs select committee.
Now, Dawn Butler, who has just been removed from the rest of today's Commons session for telling the truth in the chamber. That is,that Johnson lies repeatedly to Parliament and to the country.
Weirdly, an MP can lie to the House with absolute impunity, but another MP calling them a liar is punished...
No, they can’t lie to Parliament with absolute impunity....if proven lies have been told in the House then the PM (or MP )is held to account for it for deceiving members.
What Butler ( and anyone else) can’t do is to call a member a liar ....there are ways of doing things, in other words ‘thems the rules’ and she knew that. It’s all part of playing politics.
