As I said yesterday I’m very much looking forward to what the PSC uncover.
I’d imagine they’ve been inundated with information since this?

There was plenty of evidence from civil servants provided in the Gray inquiry, no doubt there’ll be similar tales abounding.

Probably best to wait, eh? Or are you off on another of your speculative Con-Bashing crusades? PMSL.

[naomi24]

Don’t get too excited. If a by-election were called he would be eligible to stand again.

Fatti' says you're obsessed with Boris, Naomi. In the 64 days since he became FatticusInch he's posted 22 questions with his name in the title and mentioned him in 165 answers!

This word "could" gets bandied about too often.

Con-bashing? Lol, no, just Johnson.
The Tories have got some decent MP’s, they’re just nowhere amongst the hierarchy……nor under investigation for lying to parliament, paradoxically.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks for the clarification, Fatti. That makes your obsession much more palatable.

Lol, I’ve got a stalker. You’re not the latest ToraToraTora incarnation too are you?
He’s also got an unhealthy obsession with me. PMSL

[Zacs-Master]

Funny how the accusation of stalking comes from me pointing out your obsession with an MP, Fatti, dontchathink?

You should run for PM with that kind of 'Logic'.

PMSL twice

[drmorgans]

Is it because his pants are on fire?

[FatticusInch]

Not my fault the former PM created stories about himself and/or his government on a daily basis is it?
It’s called News ZM, Johnson had a propensity for making all the wrong headlines in it, most of them unprecedented.
You do understand that, don’t you?

I am amused that AB is displaying a advert for Peppa Pig World on this thread :-)

[FatticusInch]

Lol Gromit,
Maybe we’ll get one for Debrett’s Peerage too shortly?

[jno]

the two are gradually merging...

[dave50]

He would soon get it back I'm sure.

[tomus42]

He was either lying or incompetent. I assume he and his supporters are hoping they'll decide he was just incompetent.

// The committee, which will start taking oral evidence in the autumn, including from the prime minister, published a report on Thursday setting out how it will carry out its inquiry – including the fact that, as previously reported, witnesses will be questioned under oath.

The committee has obtained a ruling from the Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, confirming that if Johnson is found to have been in contempt of parliament, and the committee punishes him with a suspension from the House of Commons, that could trigger the Recall Act.

This legislation means MPs suspended from parliament for 10 days or more – or sentenced to imprisonment – can face a byelection, if 10% of voters in their constituency sign a petition demanding one. //

Quite a few things have to fall into place for this to happen, so I suspect he will NOT face a by election.
