I get what you are saying, it is just that the greasy piglet hates being questioned by a woman and he goes to pieces It will be interesting to see how Johnson fares today |  | |  |

Rayner far better though! More impact with 'normal' people. |  |

I just think today needs less shouting and more forensic dissection of Johnson. Starmer is better placed to do that. I’m sure Johnson will just lie without consequence as usual though |  | |  |

Sadly no. Starmer alone gets 6 questions before handing over to Blackford. |  | |  |

Pervert. Either will do me (for PMQs). Both infinity better than the liar Johnson. What’s missing though is Johnson being pulled up for misleading the House. Until that happens it’s all a farce. |  |

All 6 questions should be “were you at the drinks party on 20 May 2020”? |  |

Dominic Grieve has just said Johnson should resign if he has misled Parliament. First Tory MP who I think has said it in an interview |  | |  |

Not the first. The leader of the Scottish Tories Douglas Ross was the first. |  |

Flat denial shortly followed by a leaked photo of him with a paper crown on his head and pint in hand, surrounded by maskless revellers. |  |

Good spot. Banner on Sky News still had him as an MP. He left in 2019. But yea, he was AG in the Tory party |  | |  |

He was very vocal in the remain camp. Google says after they removed the whip he later stood as an "Independent" at the last election. Defo no love lost between him and Johnson. The Tories are so far very quiet in their lack of support for him, I guess the silence speaks volumes atm. Be interesting to see how they are at PMQs. At the end of the day it's pretty much down to them whether he stays or goes and thus far they have backed him when it was clear to everyone else what he's like. |  |

Assume they’ll back him until he is proven to have broken the law or he will cost them seats. I do wonder if he’ll resign, as a huge motivation is money for him and he’ll get a lot more not being PM. This was an exchange just before Grieve came on. They are spineless [Post edited 12 Jan 2022 10:08]

They'll back him until it dawns on them that Johnson has become an electoral liability (if indeed that happens) Self preservation, self interest - all put ahead of the country's national interests. How else can you explain them voting for him in the first place? |  |

Conservative MPs are in a somewhat invidious position. If they come out too strongly against the PM, they run the risk of upsetting the more fanatical Boris-lovers among their constituency party membership. If they back him too slavishly, they may alienate their wider electorate. Either way, it endagers their chances of reselection/reelction. |  |
