I guess everyone warranted an answer from ToraToraTora except the new kid on the block?
The writing is on the wall for Johnson one feels, his own backbench and senior MP’s alike attacking him this week and I guess the rules of parliament change when a PM is under investigation because Blackford openly called him a liar without any censure from Hoyle the Speaker.
Or is it that the accusation can be made if the MP or PM accused of stating falsehoods is not actually in the chamber?
DONKEY, the motion that was being debated was regarding specific claims made by the PM in the House and that by doing so, those claims, "appear to amount to misleading the House."
Normally, an MP cannot accuse another Member of misleading the House (lying) but as that was the subject of the debate, the terms were permitted.
