To that a little bit later. but if you made up your mind that you will, if the report is as you fear it is, trigger a vote of no confidence, you will put a letter in and then you will vote against him. so, i am very clear that if he has broken the law or light at the dispatch box, then he must go, and then i would act myself to that end. but i would just say, as i said before, i would much prefer that boris johnson was a roaring success but that is not where we currently are. but one thing i wou...

The government will be expected to offer their resignation. does the prime minister believe that applies to him? mr speaker, of course. but let me tell the house thatj i think hes inviting a question about an investigation that - as you know, mr speaker, i cant comment and which he as a lawyer will know that i cant comment on. the backdrop is sue grays investigation into gatherings at downing street and whether they broke covid—i9 regulations at the time. we understand her report is essentiall...

Methodical and his background as a lawyer comes through i think voters would like to see more punch and more passion in the dispatch box and maybe that would put borisjohnson on the works a bit more similar to what we saw last week rather than today. a wider point. do voters consider who to vote for it through the prime ministers questions? im thinking of the bear year when he would get bashed about the whole time and he did not make a difference at the ballot box in 2001. i think that was inter...

He was even elected as leader of the party and became prime minister, so you are talking to the same people who have been saying the same things for two years, regardless of the issue. so all i would say is the prime minister, he has published what he has a soon as he got it he was here at these dispatch box, he told us what he got, what has been published, and i imagine as he has given it more information he will publish more and come back to the dispatch box. we have spoken a couple of times t...

Myself to substitute politics where law and ethics should be. so, if the prime minister lied at the dispatch box, if the prime minister broke the law, if the prime minister positively acquiesced in the breaking of the law, then he simply must go. i think if we had reached a set of circumstances like this with the chief executive of a company or a major leader of a public institution subject to select committee scrutiny, i honestly dont think they would be imposed by now. but we are in an extraor...

Yes, it is a sorry situation we are in. i am appalled that we have reached the situation. we didnt make boris johnson prime minister for his meticulous grasp of tedious rules but, you know, this is appalling and the public are rightly furious so at the moment, im afraid it does look like checkmate but whether he can save himself, well see. checkmate? yes, ifeel a little bit like we are all looking at the chessboard and you know how it goes, check, check, check, checkmate, and then people are all...
