Email from Birmingham Northfield MP (a 2019er) @GarySambrook89 to a constituent about the PM. Says he “would expect anyone who is found to have broken the law to seriously consider their position in the Government and that includes the Prime Minister.”
Another email to a constituent, this time from @kevinhollinrake. Says “There is a requirement within the [ministerial code] that any significant breach would necessitate the rendering of a resignation, and this of course applies to the Prime Minister.”
Constituent letter from Levelling Up minister @NeilDotObrien not exactly a ringing endorsement of BJ: “I would like to assure you I have read the emails on this and understand the strength of feeling here and will be paying close attention to the report and response of the PM.”
Letter from @SteveBrineMP: “I am not even going to try and defend the events in Downing St...they are indefensible in my book.”
Says he’ll wait for Gray report but “I have to make a judgment on not just ‘party gate’...but what I think we will get with the status quo...”
“...and what/who we will get with a change.”
Letter from Stephen Crabb on PM: “He was right to apologise earlier this week but this may not be a sufficient response given the seriousness of these matters.”
Do keep responses coming if you have one
Response from Sir Graham Brady. Says he’s Chair of the 22 but says “it was incumbent on those who introduced them to follow both the letter and the spirit of the regulations that were in force. Like others, I will be looking at Sue Gray’s report into these matters v carefully.”
Chris Loder (admittedly one of the rebels) completely unsparing: “Frankly this situation with No10 is humiliating...I have told the Whip yesterday that an investigation with no timeline’s not good enough and we want this ‘report’ for scrutiny in the Commons urgently.”
