MPs will vote later today on whether to support a report that found Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over lockdown parties in No 10. Rishi Sunak has said he doesn't want to influence anyone ahead of the vote.
– Failing to tell the House ‘about his own knowledge of the gatherings where the rules or guidance had been broken’;– Insisting on waiting for Sue Gray’s report to be published before he could answer questions in the House, when he had ‘personal knowledge which he did not reveal’;
The PM told Good Morning Britain: ‘This committee was established under the former Prime Minister. It commanded the confidence of the house at the time and I’m sure that they have done their work thoroughly and I respect them for that. It will be a free vote for Tory MPs, meaning whips – will not instruct them what to do at the vote, which is expected to take place on Monday evening after a debate.
Opposition MPs are expected to shout ‘aye’ later to approve the report, but if no MP in the chamber shouts ‘no’ then there won’t be a division, meaning the votes of individual MPs will not be recorded.Last week Boris claimed the report was designed to be ‘the final knife thrust’ in his ‘political assassination’.
