Sorry for the lateness of this news, i didn’t see it 3 weeks ago.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11093225/Tory-MP-Laura-Farris-quits-Partygate-inquiry-keeps-reason-secret-avoid-risk-prejudice.html

Conservative MP Laura Farris quit the Inquiry the minute that Parliament went into recess. Here resignation has to be acknowledge by Parliament, so we have to wait for the next session to open. Only then can a replacement to found and sworn in.
This seems like a deliberate action, but what for ?

The result of the inquiry will affect Boris’ future.

If he is found guilty he could be suspended as an MP. If he is suspended for over 0 days, then a more than 10 days, then we would have a recall petition in his constituency where, if 10% of his constituency wanted him to be thrown out, he’d be thrown out.
Bit disingenuous to insinuate it has been delayed deliberately - surely with the recess it would not be happening any time soon anyway. But hey why let the truth get in the way of a misleading headline.
Even more intriguing that no reason was given.
One can see why suspicions would be aroused though, given that there was a overt meeting with Sue Grey initiated by the government a week before her report, which they initially denied then subsequently confirmed.

Curiouser and curiouser…..
Probably because she’s criticised him in the past and therefore cannot he considered unbiased - which she is required to be. I read something about other members of that committee a few days ago who are in a similar situation. They haven’t stepped down though.

They only finished taking evidence 4 weeks ago and given Johnson’s record there’s quite a bit to sift through, I’d imagine?

Chris Bryant certainly did.
How bad must his character be that they’re struggling to find even some of his own MP’s who could remain unbiased?
The committee is already Tory-heavy anyway, but that still won’t satisfy the Borstriches.
He has plenty of support outside that committee which is chaired by Harriet Harman who was critical of him long before this nonsense arose. She’s not fit for purpose either.
We know you’d prefer HRM and Dorries naomi24 but the PSC needs rational and reasoned MP’s of all stripes, not the usual Boris fawners and flunkies.
They couldn’t fashion an independent Sue Gray style investigation, they’d already tried to nobble that one.
Difficult when the main focus is such a divisive, devious and dodgy character, isn’t it?

So much support within the parliamentary party they forced him out.
*JRM even.
She’s not entirely squeaky clean herself but, that aside, there are calls for her to step down because of her previous criticism of him. You won’t want to know about that though so I won’t bother posting links.
So she’s had one or two minor scandals, totally unproven.
Care to make a comparison between her list and Johnson’s?
Do please post your links, they could be countered 5 fold with what Johnson has done, unforgivably a lot of it as the Prime Minister, hence he’s got to explain himself to his peers and colleagues.
Sadly for him one of the peers won’t he Lord Lebedev, but that’s another scandal entirely.
Pray continue……
"she’s criticised him in the past and therefore cannot he considered unbiased - which she is required to be."

Are there any MPs who have not expressed a negative or positive opinion of Boris Johnson in the past?

If previous negative comments are considered as showing bias then the same must be said of previous positive comments.
Don’t tell me, Corby. I don’t set the criteria.
Didn't think for a second that you did.
Good.
Any luck with those Harman links?
Asking for a friend …..
Got to admire gromit for setting off a thread and been able to stand back and watch Fatticus take it over.
Looks a bit odd to me ( the resignation I mean ) but a few more weeks won't matter as boris will be gone anyway soon as pm and the voters in his seat will vote in 2024
