By no means a fan of hers, but she may have a point.
She doesn't have a point on anything. One of the worst (if not the worst) member of a front bench in living memory in a very competitive field.

This is the minister who before committees and interviews stated ->

1) Channels Four is in receipt of public money. It's commercially funded.
2) Channel Five was more successful after being privatised. Channel 5 has never been publicly owned.
3) Channel Four used actors (as opposed to real people) in a documentary she appeared in. Subsequent investigations by Channels Four and the production company proved the statement to be incorrect.

None of her statements above are true, not even opinion but she refuses to correct the record.

.. and whilst making a public and immediate resignation from her post, hasn't gone anywhere whilst she argues for her gong back.

She's straight out of the Johnson playbook.

But does she though? Leaving aside the massive hypocrisy of suggesting there might be 'gongs' in wait for those that do their masters' bidding, 3 of the 4 Tories are already in safe seats and 2 are already knights of the realm. What exactly does she think they are being lined up for?

It's just the ranting of a fan-girl stooge who is having a strop because she has found out that all those years of work defending the indefensible won't get the pay-off she was promised.

It's amazing how gullible people can be.

Yes, but when she's up against Failing Grayling and, my personal nadir, Gavin Williamson (as Education Secretary, of all things), that's some seriously stiff competition.

Did I read that the inquiries outcome was voted on unanimously by the committee? if so the attacks on Harriet Harman are vile, but not unexpected. And as for mad Nad's :oops:
Unanimous. Yes.

Stand by for more lies and defamation from the Johnson gang.

What the actual feck are you taking about?
By no means a fan of hers, but she may have a point.
Which is what?

That she will try anything to get herself a Damehood - by any means - even if it means putting other MP's at potential physical risk?

She is a thick drunken nutjob who has somehow brown nosed her way into a position of power.

As others have said.....you're wrong on this occasion.

We are being offered (and some have been sold) the lie that anyone who investigates an MP for contempt of parliament is by definition corrupt and involved purely for personal gain.

Many years ago I was asked to investigate an accusation of scientific fraud, the complainant a contract research company (CRO). I wrote a very long report (52 pages, yes, I know :facepalm: ) that concluded that while there had been some sloppy work done by the accused, and that a published paper should be retracted, I could find no evidence of fraud. In this case the accused had nothing to gain from their sloppy mistakes. But....

The head of the CRO lost his shit and wrote to the principal of my university claiming that by not finding scientific fraud, I was therefore guilty myself of scientific fraud. My employer felt bound to undertake an examination. I was fully exonerated.

The committee investigating Johnson has my sympathies. They will certainly be hounded by the Johnson gang. It is a quite horrible look.

Supporters of Boris Johnson have vowed to target Conservative members of the privileges committee and Tory MPs who endorse its findings for deselection, as the aftermath of the report prompted vicious internal infighting.

One ally of the former prime minister said they expected Bernard Jenkin, the most senior Tory on the committee, which said Johnson misled parliament in denying any lockdown-breaking parties, could be a particular focus in his Harwich and North Essex seat.

No, she doesn’t. Not one. She’s just trying to smear the committee especially now they’ve been warned that calling it a kangaroo court is contempt of Parliament itself. (Ps she did yesterday)


And three of the Tory members of the committee have seats with massive majorities - only one is in a marginal. I'd be shocked if he moved however

I think they need to read the room. The tide has turned and whilst it is a small but vocal minority in support, everyone else thinks he’s a ****. Well I think he’s a ****, they most probably think he actually a bad egg.

Let's not forget Johnson is a man who, while a journalist, 'facilitated' an agreement by which fellow former Bullingdon Club acolyte Darius Guppy and a few thugs would beat up a rival journalist

He got away with everything, this is one I remember clearly when he was London Mayor.


Oh and this one:




Personally I think there are questions to be asked about the composition of the Committee, the potential bias of the chair and a prominent member having a well known dislike him.

But I couldn't give a f@@@.

They got Al Capone on tax eventually didn't they ?

Bye bye Boris.
