Will the Tories turn up to vote tomorrow?

My so-called MP will not turn up. He's just resigned, 14 months after being banned from the HOC in disgrace.

Probably not. The Tory MPs are worried about upsetting the public who are unbelieavably committed BJ supporters (cant believe in folk who support liars).

Johnson slagged of the whole process and the committee in his usual bullish manner. Then low and behold he recommends that his party should vote FOR the committee's findings. Why? Because he didn’t want to cause a split or something within the Party. Really, are we expected to swallow that ? Also, that he has become some kind of martyr. Or could it be that he knows it will get voted for anyway and it was the best way to save the humiliation that will be heaped upon him. He also needs to be admired and liked so here comes Mr hard done by but really Mr Nice Guy.

My MP was one of the ones standing outside No 10 in tears when he left so I very much doubt that she’d vote against him.

I’ve no idea what’s going to happen, but I’m assuming that characters like Rees Mogg will attempt to present themselves as Johnson loyalists - to please any remaining supporters he has in the electorate. I hope Penny Mordaunt gets her sword out!

If they don’t vote won’t the opposition have to do a reciprocal no vote also? Or is that only if there’s a valid reason for not being there? A Johnson supporter on QT pointed out that Johnson has lost his livelihood because of this. Can someone remind me how much he’s now being paid by the Mail to write one article a week plus all of his paid speeches worldwide?

There’s a one line whip so attendance and voting are not compulsory and there’s no pairing between mps. It’s rubber stamping and moving on time.

maybe DS was saying yesterday, that an analysis of the DM article appears to show that it was produced by AI. So Johnson isn’t even putting in any effort for his million!

Ww2 that’s rubbing salt into the wound. But how do you know Johnson isn’t A1?

If he is then humanity is doomed!!

It may go through on the nod so no-one has to vote.

Debate has just started

I’ve just emailed m MP saying I expect her to support the Privileges Committee

👍

Is Sunak sitting this out then?

Admiration for Theresa May

Very appropriate speech from Teresa May just now.

Do I have it right that the only members of the cabinet present are Mordaunt and Churchill?

Shameful.

It would seem so.

Listening to the speeches particularly from May, it really is beyond disgraceful that they are not turning up.

Lia Nici!!

Quite extraordinary.

Lia Nici!!

Quite extraordinary.

What IS she talking about regarding the language in which the report is written being biased when the words she suggested were biased were in fact neutral?

All people should continuously rule. I agree with that!

Churchill

It's a disgrace if Sunak and Cabinet do not vote. The Committee of Privileges is not a kangaroo court. It is advised by a judge. It must be supported otherwise Ministers will be able to lie to the Commons with impunity.

Crikey. This is good stuff. I welled up when I heard Tobias Elwood and Theresa May speak. Even Leadsom. And Peter Bottomley. I won’t say the effect Rees Mogg had on me….
