🧵#PrivilegesCommitteeReport
After reading the full 110 pages my overriding conclusion is that the Privileges Committee Report into whether Boris Johnson intentionally misled Parliament is a confused word salad of conjecture, contradiction and is rather misleading in and of itself
It is a struggle to even know where to begin, frankly there is so much one could pick apart
I concede that if the MPs haven’t followed this saga as closely as I have then they may not pick up on the subtleties that have been used to move the recommendation from unintentionally misleading to knowingly and recklessly misleading
I will focus on a handful of the main glaring issues (as I see them) and encourage you to read the report in full to make your own mind up
If you are an MP voting on this tomorrow and you haven’t read the report in full then I would encourage you to do so alongside the Sue Gray report
I have previously written two articles that I would encourage you to also read in advance of this final one:

The two articles walk you through the timeline of events, both of the Sue Gray reports and the previous Privilege Committee reports, transcript and compares them for accuracy
Warning: It will be a long thread.
@TerraOrBust@BarristersHorse ‘Killing off those that stood for change, doesn’t stop us needing it’ makes the most sense of anything I’ve read here!
Alas for Boris it was always likely to be this way ..
@Streakyblue1951@LadyRebecca_1@CommonsSpeaker This whole situation isn’t making sense. Are ppl forgetting how unwell Boris was when he had Covid? It doesn’t make sense he’d have been nonchalant with flaunting rules knowing how it could affect ppl. Not feeling able to trust these findings
@DarrenDOfficial Wow, can you hang on there a bit, I will be there on the 28th for a few days. Lovely city isn’t it. Enhanced of course by the presence of our Dazza! Xxx
@GBNEWS Is it a given that children born after the heir to the throne are always affected? Or maybe only the envious, jealous, spiteful ones with an’it should have been me’ agenda?Is Princess Anne driven by anger?areAndrew’s misgivings due to jealousy?Is Prince Edward happy with his lot?
@GBNEWS@EssexPR@danwootton I haven’t bother to find out what he’s saying because I have no interest. I acknowledge Harry needs support for his mental health but can only see this harming him deeper.
@SophieLadds@TowngateTheatre Have been unwell since before Xmas with a virus, sorry not got to see you. Was hoping to see the other Ladds-Day household version of Hook haha. Best wishes to you for a Happy 2023 xx
@DarrenDOfficial You have very lovely children Darren. Corey I can’t believe how quickly those 18 years have flown by. Enjoy a very happy birthday. Lots of fun and laughter xxx
