in its receipt of the report should surprise absolutely no one. it is to be laughed at, frankly, and the public is laughing at it. it looks really desperate and some of the defences i have heard today on behalf of members trying to stick up for borisjohnson looks a little bit like people dancing on the head of a pin. and frankly they were laughable. and people are watching. i feel very bad laughable. and people are watching. ifeel very bad for laughable. and people are watching. i feel very bad for the fact that thatis i feel very bad for the fact that that is going to be represented as if it s the conservative party s view when there are very decent members who will absolutely do the right thing and stick up for democracy. i think it is a crying shame that in this moment of release valve, that the prime minister of our country cannot even express how he would vote if he were to turn up today. in my view, that is a
in this debate, to politics is toxic for democracy. what is the point of this day after day standing up and asking ministers questions if they routinely give us answers they know to they know to be untrue. they ve got no chance of building confidence in parliament, and democracy, and politics if they don t care whether what they say is true or not. maybe there is a contrary argument that great men shouldn t have to worry about such trivial details. the committee here is absolutely right. if that view prevailed, our democracy would be at very serious risk. i think it is across the atlantic at the moment as well. thank goodness that the committee, borisjohnson, having committee, boris johnson, having made committee, borisjohnson, having made a pretty successful career out of not telling the truth, thank goodness that the committee was willing to take a stand. they are
in the run up to the bill for? because he was in parliament i was in parliament, and i do not believe that the ministers at that time said things which they knew to be untrue. i think it is absolutely clear as far as i can tell that a former preminger did say in his house, things that he knew well to be untrue. i have the chance to discuss with the liaison committee. he carried on saying it stop he also administers resetting of documents about study od on what they believed them to be true? yes. about study od on what they believed them to be true? about study cd on what they believed them to be true? them to be true? yes, i do believe that those them to be true? yes, i do believe that those who them to be true? yes, i do believe that those who made them to be true? yes, i do believe that those who made those points| them to be true? yes, i do believe i that those who made those points in the house at the time believed that they were truthful. it became clear that they were not
