Will Johnson offer him chancellor as condition of support? Zahawi considered a contender. Another cabinet minister told me Zahawi remains loyal. Jacob Rees Mogg said earlier on @skynews that replacing the CX would give Johnson opportunity to start cutting taxes....
IT’S NOT OVER
The Privileges Committee will now investigate whether the Prime Minister deliberately misled Parliament
Its difficult to imagine them reaching any determination other than he did
Then he will HAVE to RESIGN

@RuthDavidsonMSP @Douglas4Moray It was a pathetic exhibition. @Douglas4Moray couldn’t even just agree that abusive behaviour is bad, he had to then pick a fight! No one mentioned #indyref2 more than him. A very negative showing by the leader of a party with no ideas.
@DavidMundellDCT@Douglas4Moray@NicolaSturgeon We are all having a game here, counting how many times Ross mentions independence. I have lost count and given up. Remind me who is obsessed again?
@EdinburghTories @RuthDavidsonMSP @Douglas4Moray What a petty man @Douglas4Moray showed himself to be at the end of the debate. All the leaders come together to denounce abusive behaviour but he felt the need to start another argument! And mention his favourite topic of #indyref2 for the 20th time tonight.
Classic gaffe by unionist parties. 5 local pilots for basic income are ready to go in Scotland - stymied by WM gov refusing to participate. #BBCLeadersDebate
@John2Win@ScotTories No one party will only focus on one item. #indyref2 will allow Scotland to choose how it recovers, not be dictated to by a Westminster government it never voted for.

We had the worst recession and the worst growth of any major economy last year.
Covid closed much of our economy, but the Conservatives crashed it.
Feeling particularly disheartened this morning. Not asking for sympathy, just acknowledging that everyone can struggle at times. It will get better even if sometimes it doesn’t seem like it.
