So he’s saying the PM hasn’t lied over the parties. What about all the other times he’s stood there and lied to MPs Recent lies in PMQs if I mind right - about inflation & warm homes discount?

Have members of this Tory government completely lost their pride. For once Raab makes sense, but have some of the seasoned MP’s not visited the PM and privately asked for his resignation. If he continues, it will only take another scandal or major problem to lose them the next GE

And here we go, bit of manoeuvring, positioning and slyly getting ready for the nominations and there’ll be others 😏😏😏

Sack the lot of 'em!

Cheerie bye then !
