👇👇👇 Steve Bannon charged with two counts of contempt of Congress after refusing to testify and comply with subpoenas issued by the House committee investigating the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol.
The Justice Department has said that Bannon is expected to turn himself in to authorities on Monday and would then be court later that day.
One count refers to Bannon’s refusal to appear for a deposition and the second is for his refusal to produce documents for the committee.
Justice Dept says each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail.

No 10 have confirmed the Prime Minister won’t be responding to the standards emergency debate in the Commons later today- he’s visiting a hospital in the north east.

Instead it’ll be Steve Barclay, the Cabinet Office minister.
Last night Keir Starmer called for an apology from the Prime Minister for the government’s conduct throughout the affair. PM appears to have given him his answer 👇
PM says there’s been “absolutely no discussion” about a peerage for OP.

Syas he hopes there’ll be “cross party agreement” on MPs’ standards. This has been line from govt for days. Problem is doesn’t recognise that that has been made less likely as a result of last week’s events.
