MJ<p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PrivilegesCommittee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivilegesCommittee</span></a> has Johnson is a liar been said so many times in one place. </p><p>I'm shocked at some Tory twerps and impressed at a couple who are downright angry at him</p>
Louise Locock<p>I differ from Peter Bottomley on virtually everything. But to hear him say that back in 1985 he is on record in Hansard for saying 'I made a mistake. I apologise' and recommend that's how all MPs should behave was actually very moving. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PrivilegesCommittee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivilegesCommittee</span></a></p>
