So now they get into the actual substance taking each event that received fines for anyone at anytime

I am going to simply put their description for each event alongside what #SueGray said Boris’ presence and involvement was

May 20th 2020-BYO Email
No fine for Boris

PC/SG 👇
19th June 2020

The one @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak got fined for

PC/SG 👇
13th November

#SueGray concluded that Boris attended this until about 8pm when he went to his flat where some advisors were already having a meeting

No fine for Boris

His presence was deemed ‘necessary for work’ &it therefore was not a party then

PC/SG 👇
27th November
No fine for Boris, limited attendance to give a speech

Note: 4/5 deep (PC) but 15-20 people (SG)

Also the Paul Brand Podcast quote differs (party (PB) not gathering (PC)

PC/SG 👇
18th December

Note: Boris Johnson didn’t attend. No evidence that he knew of it.

This was the Allegra video that kicked everything off and on the back of which the party questions were asked
PC/SG 👇
14th January
No fine for Boris
PC/SG
The text then goes onto what Boris said that they feel might have misled parliament

I’ve just read the ‘special report’ from the #PrivilegesCommittee

You can read it yourself here.

Thankfully this one is relatively short



I have a few issues with it… 🧐🧵👇committees.parliament.uk/publications/4…
Firstly: their fourth report stated it was specifically authorised to look at @BorisJohnson and no one else

So where is their mandate from the house to criticise multiple MPs/Lords and even @ConsPost ??

Their mandate was also limited to what was said in the House and yet this… https://t.co/Ha5gTwCCTntwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
They have used this footnote to explain their mandate but surely ‘privilege’ is limited to proceedings in the house? Outside of the house the law applies and if they feel they have been libelled/ slandered /intimidated then they should use the law?

Is this another case of… https://t.co/H8BTNrWt1Atwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵#PrivilegesCommitteeReport

After reading the full 110 pages my overriding conclusion is that the Privileges Committee Report into whether Boris Johnson intentionally misled Parliament is a confused word salad of conjecture, contradiction and is rather misleading in and of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The basic conclusion of the Privilege Committee investigation is that they find Boris Johnson intentionally misled the house and, in so doing, is found in contempt of the house
Their initial ‘warning’ to BJ was that they were going to recommend a sanction of suspension that would be long enough to cause a recall petition in his constituency

Events then moved very quickly they increased their recommendations to 90 days&removal of his parliamentary pass

Here is @RishiSunak telling the HoC that he did not attend any parties

Yes he was asked about a specific event but that doesn’t matter to the #privilegescommittee hearing for @BorisJohnson

One rule for one and another for another??

That sounds fair 🙄

independent.co.uk/tv/news/rishi-…
An exact carbon copy and I have yet to find any link of Sunak correcting the record at all

Did he?

He may’ve done but…🤷‍♀️
A carbon copy of the #PrivilegesCommittee question to @BorisJohnson from Catherine West MP

I have searched Hansard and can find no reference to @RishiSunak correcting the house OR even apologising

@Conservatives MPs what do you do now?

Refer @RishiSunak or scrap the PC?

Oh my word!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

Suddenly everything is starting to make sense…

👀😱👇 #SueGrayGate

Couple that with this:

And you start to understand how we got to where we are now! 😱👀😱👇

#SueGrayGate

For once I’m ‘threadless’

Where to begin…??? 😱👀🫣
Guess who was invited in to HoC to speak at the Committee on standards on December 8th 2020(a year to the date of Allegra Stratton video) to discuss MPs code of conduct&the Ministerial code: whether and how the system should change?
👀👇

Take a look

Did #SueGray gather the evidence and report the facts of gatherings in Downing Street or did she set the narrative and set the wheels in motion to oust a democratically elected PM? 🧵👇

Was she motivated by her politics or did she simply report the facts?
There were parties - no one is denying that but was her first report prejudicial and was it even necessary?

Imo there are two main aspects of her first report that I find troubling

(FTR the second report I have no issue with- the damage was already done imo by the first)
1. Timings - as I have set out in a previous thread

Why did she publish that first report?

What motivated her?

Now we get onto what @BorisJohnson said in the HoC that could be held to be ‘misleading’

Worth noting that what he was actually asked is as important as what he then said in response

When you’re asked a specific question you answer that question

#SueGray #PrivilegesCommittee
Dec1st 2020 from PC 👇

Boris Johnson said:

‘…all guidance was followed completely in no 10’

As per the #PrivilegesCommittee initial report

But

Let’s look at what he was actually asked…
.@Keir_Starmer asked:

‘As millions of people were locked down last year was a Christmas Party thrown in Downing Street for dozens of people on December the 18th?’

That’s specific

So let’s look at Dec 18th again

➡️He wasn’t there. It was the Allegra video 👀
