Boris Johnson .
Haystack has been reselected to stand as Tory candidate for Uxbridge at the next GE....That's if he doesn't get his rump kicked out at the partygate hearing on March 22 ..Which will not happen..Because it will be rigged.
It appears that Johnson is a little disappointed as he had his eye on his old Henly Constituency after agreeing to purchase a Georgian Manor house at a cost of £4 million , The property contains it's own moat ...But alas.... No Ditch.

The usual penalty if a Minister lies or misleads Parliament is for him or her to lose their Ministerial post. Since Mr Johnson is no longer a Minister that is not an option. The Speaker has no powers to investigate the truthfullness of any statements made in The House and although MPs may be held in contempt of Parliament, there is no sanctions available. The worst thing an MP can do is accuse another MP of lying. That will usually get him or her suspended for a few days.
In 2021 a petition to make lying to Parliament a criminal offence gained the necessary 100,000 signatures and was debated by MPs. The result was there were no plans to do so.
Working, as I do, on the assumption that all politicians tell lies, there is no reason to suspect that shortcoming does not suddenly disappear when they are in Parliament.

Murrell is the Nicola Sturgeon's married name
The implication ( in my opinion) is that Peter, ( er the husband that is!) has his fat biscuit-barrel fingers stuffed in some financial pie.
Lying in parliament has always been thus - the only other time which was famous ( in my opinion) was Stanley baldwin refusing to answer a q on grounds of national security

did not go down well - with the commoners. Lowe ( a famous cartoonist in my opinion) portrayed Baldwin ever after with sealing wax on his mouth - of which there appears to be no record on the internet

The Royal Baccarat scandal 1890 in my opinion might have been a parallel or precedent. No matter what fun it is to read in stead of the average AB post,
