Soon MPs will have the opportunity to vote on the report by the Privileges Committee on whether Boris Johnson misled parliament and whether or not he undermined democracy by his subsequent reaction to the sight of the report.

I am already sick of the feeble excuses, the attempts to deflect and the faux outrage of Johnson’s supporters as well as the efforts, on social media, to ignite another pathetic culture war. The British people have had enough of this and are no longer fooled.

Throughout this period of Conservative misrule, numerous Tory MPs have placed their own self-interest above that of the country. They have been willing to turn a blind eye to attacks on constitutional convention, international law, human rights, social justice and ignored the dishonest campaign to leave the EU. Even the few ostensibly honest, decent Tory MPs have sometimes colluded or, at best, remained silent when a voice was desperately needed.
