Irrelevant to my point, and I haven’t read the full report yet - as I said, if he did mislead then he should be censured.

You appear to be one of just two people who say they are not aware of the contents of the report, with Sunak being the other.

I actually haven’t had the time to read it yet. I’m reading it now in fact.

I don’t know what you do with your day - not a lot by the looks of it - but some people are busier than others.

Sunak has probably got more important things to do as well. At least I would hope he does.

You do know it is possible to be aware of the key points by listening to the news, and it has been the headline item on pretty much every bulletin today.

I haven’t had time to read the report yet, but I will do.

Clearly the bloke has an issue telling the truth, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he did mislead, but I do think that enough has already been said about the issue to be honest.

The apparent drinking culture at No. 10 was wholly wrong, but I think the country has bigger things to worry about than whether somebody turned up at a work meeting with a birthday cake, or whether tables were put out on the lawn at the back of Downing St. And if the rules were broken at No.10, then they were also broken by Starmer and Rayner when they had their curry night in Durham.

Also, the idea that Harriet fucking Harmen should be lecturing people about standards of behaviour - even Boris Johnson - is ridiculous. This is someone who has been censured by the Electoral Commission on numerous occasions, who had to repay substantial sums as a result of the expenses scandal, and who tried to remove MP’s expenses from the scope of FOI requests. Poacher turned gamekeeper as far as she is concerned.

I've not finished it but am a decent way through having skimmed once already. I think when you read it you'll find it's conclusion(s) are pretty robust. As Greives the former AG had been saying today it's important to not get sucked back into the partygate aspect of it but the more constitutional point in question of whether our PM stood at the despatch box and lied to the house and by extension the nation. I would suggest it's hard to draw any other conclusion. As for Harman I'm not necessarily her biggest fan but it's important to recognise the committee is majority conservative anyway. Standards in public life and particularly in politics have been declining for a number of years; if we are to try and arrest the decline then I think dealing with the most visible and egregious offender is a good start. I would like to think it is a start of a broader renewal but that might be wishful thinking on my part.

Too busy making excuses for your hero on here?

Yeah, will be interesting to read it tonight.

Or I could just read it myself and make my own mind up.

 

[domalino]

I know I should expect it, but seeing the usual scumbags line up to lie through their teeth has annoyed me more than usual tonight.

 

[Mr Fraser]

Have you read the report?

Yes
