      True , I believe alot of the party membership are still die hard Johnson supporters . Fair play to Laura for the tribute to Harriet and her speech in general . Not sure if it was just me , but I think the MP sat behind her was Natalie Elphick and at one brief point she made it obvious what she thought about a party colleague daring to perhaps be critical of the MPs who were critical of the committee .

      @@StratsRUs I'm no Tory supporter but this obsession with voting records is insane. MPs are required, by their parties, to vote according to the whips. Very few votes are 'free' votes. If they don't vote as instructed by the whips, they face getting expelled from the party and losing their seat. It's the Parliamentary tradition of Collective Responsibility to encourage a cohesive unit and has always been the case. An individual member's voting record means nothing more than what the party line was at the time.

She and likes of the Rees-Mogg, Patel and the other Tories names in the report are on opposite ideological ends of the Tory Party.
      I'm guessing she's more than comfortable supporting the committee because it would've been something her wing of the party would deem a no-brainer. You would never see this level of abuse and vitriol directed at a parliamentary committee under previous Conservative prime ministers.

Using statements like the person must have known and basing a finalisation of report on that is amateurish, unprofessional and laughable.
      I wanted a document derived from initial reports gained from un biased independent genuine people not people who had sold out to the people putting forward the complaint and that gained monetarily not only for themselves but also for members of their family from their actions, ie Sue Grey
      I wanted to a report that was clearly open and transparent not one that used anonymous accounts from people who were not cross examined.
      I wanted a report put together by people who had not carried out the similar offences to the person being investigated.
      I wanted a report who's head of investigation had not openly stated their decision of guilt before the hearing and report were finalised.
