memberfor to my right honourable friend, the member for camberwell and peckham? for her stewardship and the way she has chaired this privileges committee with such strength and integrity and also thanks to all the members of that committee as well. now, the report was a damning indictment of the former prime minister s behaviour, finding that yes, he indeed deliberately misled this house. no surprise to me, as in my opinion he was never suitable for high office, especially the great office of state of the office of prime minister. even his disgraceful track record. now, there is an old saying, but when someone shows you who they are, believe them. and let s face it. there is a litany of examples of mrjohnson s failures and lies. he lied about brexit, he was sacked for lying multiple times, indeed, he lied to the late her majesty the queen. so i will be voting to endorse this report, although i believe i wish the committee actually chose to ban him for life, but i want to enco

the privileges committee. whether they come from external commentators ought within this house. the work of the committee is thankless. there is no need to make it potentially dangerous too. the additional security that was needed is deeply shameful. the right honourable memberfor shameful. the right honourable member for camberwell and peckham is an exceptional parliamentarian and it was a privilege to serve with her on the joint committee for human rights. i also deplore the attacks on my honourable friend the member for warrington south, who was a voluntary magistrate as well as serving his constituents. shame, shame, shame on those who are working to undermine him and his future prospects. he is a decent and honourable member as are all members of the privileges committee it is up to each member to decide individually how to vote and how to explain their decision to their
camberwell and peckham. and i speak today with a feeling of overwhelming relief that at last the truth is being told in this house in the collective gas lighting of the nation is finally over. it is shocking in a way that a committee has had to spell it out that, and i quote, if ministers cannot be trusted to tell the truth, the house cannot do its job. trusted to tell the truth, the house cannot do itsjob. even more shocking that the minister in question was the most senior person in government, the prime minister. a prime minister who sought to obscure the truth from those to whom he was accountable by lying deliberately and repeatedly. and who by lying to parliament, was also lying to the people who elected. in a prime minister who has effectively shredded the ministerial code, a crucial part of the spinal cord of the constitution and the words of
