Bumbling Boris denied access to Parliament.

 

Boris Johnson

Bumbling Boris Johnson has been denied access to Parliament. Yet, Jacob Reese-Mogg, says that it's absolutely ridiculous to deny the serial liar access to Parliament and calls the Privileges Committee report into Boris Johnson, 'vindictive'.

The committee was set up by Parliament to investigate whether Boris Johnson had intentionally or recklessly misled Parliament over 'Partygate'. A staunch Roman Catholic, Reese-Mogg, says it was perfectly right to criticise the committee's findings because that's politics. Although Boris Johnson was fined by the police for breaking lockdown rules that he introduced, Reese-Mogg, claimed that Johnson had stuck to the rules during lockdown and that the allegations against him, were "nuttier than a fruitcake", the work of 'remainiacs'.

An official told the Privileges Committee that 10 Downing Street had been an "oasis of normality" during the pandemic, with birthday parties, leaving drinks, and 'Wine Time Fridays' all continuing. Boris Johnson told Parliament that he'd been repeatedly assured that lockdown rules and regulations had been adhered to at all times.

Although politicians have a reputation for being professional liars, there are still some, who believe that the truth matters. Boris Johnson turned mendacity into an art form, believing that we live in an age of alternative facts and realities.

Although a majority of the committee members were Conservative MPs, Reese-Mogg, is one of a number of MPs who are now under investigation by the committee, for having impugned the committee by accusing it of "egregious bias", likening it to a "kangaroo court."

A recent YouGov survey of more than 3,000 adults, found that nearly 70% believed that Johnson had knowingly misled Parliament. As Jonathan Swift famously said, where "falsehood flies, truth comes limping after it..."
