What is ultimately so glorious about this is that bang to rights defendants always lie through their teeth to survive, but rarely (if ever) where the charge itself is lying. Johnson trying to lie his way out of being a liar is too much, even for a truly elite level liar like him.

I’m busy working on stuff at the moment. Could someone just let me know if Johnson says something true?

If Boris Johnson didn’t understand his own rules, that makes him out of his depth, incompetent, and not fit for the office to which he was elected.
The other option is that he understood the rules, didn’t care, and then lied.
Either way, it’s not a fabulous look, is it.

Johnson is showing a hat-trick of contempt – contempt for Privileges Committee, contempt for Parliament & contempt for the public, who sacrificed so much. He is a man who has done untold damage to our democracy – if this damage is not to be permanent, he must be held to account

Boris Johnson just said holding the parties was "essential" to the functioning of government. Well

You couldn’t make it up. Johnson having to temporarily leave the Committee he’s currently lying to so as to go vote against a bill the whole point of which is to repair the lies he told about his own Brexit deal …
What a stain on British politics he’s been

I see the main defence tactic here is "tetchy waffle."
