The committee is just an unnecessary witch hunt.”
Should the committee of MPs find that he deliberately misled the Commons over what he knew about lockdown parties being held in Downing Street it could recommend a range of sanctions, including a suspension from Parliament of more than 10 days, which could trigger a by-election. The veteran Tory said the situation was “exactly like” Spartacus, adding: “ The “Red Wallers” who shafted Boris are already feeling the cold from the electorate for getting rid of him. Boris could legitimately claim upon a return he was voted in by the electorate. It was Tory inexperienced flakes in the “Red Walls” and disenfranchised ministers most from the 2015 era that went against him for ambitious purposes.
