….and so did Dominic Raab.

More lies from the Tory heads.
Why does Johnson only appoint sycophants and grovellers instead of people qualified for the job with no previous baggage or allegations?
When will all this end?

Further update from Sky News.
As Michael Ellis busted a gut to bat off attacks in the chamber criticising Number 10's handling of the most recent pestminster scandal, it turns out shots were being fired from the benches behind as well as in front.
During Labour's urgent question some unsuspecting Tories made it clear Boris Johnson was losing the benefit of the doubt, and they were not the only ones.
Speaking to backbenchers in Westminster, one MP who voted for Mr Johnson in June's confidence vote told me that, had they known the numbers of votes against the prime minister would be so high and how abysmal the result would be in the Tiverton and Honiton by-election, they would not have voted for the prime minister to stay in post.
"150 MPs voting against you is pretty bad. People are tired and fed up", they said.
This usually pro-Boris MP also went on to say that they were frustrated with those in power behaving badly and then "playing the victim", and that they couldn't see Mr Johnson remaining in power by this time next year.
As the prime minister's premiership hits yet another bump in the road, how long will Tory MPs be willing to forgive and forget?
Furthermore…
Former chief whip: We can't go on like this
Mark Harper, who was chief whip under David Cameron, has told Sky's deputy political editor, Sam Coates, that his party "cannot go on like this".
He said: "It's astounding that Downing Street appears to be telling lies to ministers before sending them out to defend the government."
Mr Harper is a critic of Boris Johnson, and submitted a letter of no confidence in the PM.
He went on: "If I were a minister and I'd taken steps, as one of my ministerial colleagues did yesterday, to ask very clear and specific questions of Downing Street about what had happened, and he was given categorical assurances about something – if that then turns out to be untrue then I think the people who briefed him should be held accountable.
"I think people in public life have a duty to tell the truth, both in parliament and to the media, and I think that's very important."
He then called for senior ministers to take responsibility, saying: "I think every member of the cabinet has a responsibility now to consider these matters and consider what steps they are prepared to take to hold the prime minister to account."
Mr Harper went on: "We cant go on like like this, and I think that's going to a matter for both government and backbenchers."
The message is clear. The chance to save your skin is drawing nigh.
