A Boris Johnson Liz Truss comparison has people laughing away today.
It comes as Boris Johnson faced 90-day suspension for misleading MPs before he quit.
You can read his resignation in full here.
Johnson didn’t like the reports findings, to put it mildly…
He called the report “a charade”, and that some of its arguments are “a load of complete tripe”.
Johnson said: “I believed that we were working, and we were: talking for the main about nothing except work, mainly covid. Why would I have set out, in the Chamber, to conceal my knowledge of something illicit, if that account could be so readily contradicted by others? Why would we have had an official photographer if we believed we were breaking the law?
Illegal
“We didn’t believe that what we were doing was wrong, and after a year of work the Privileges Committee has found not a shred of evidence that we did.
“Their argument can be boiled down to: ‘Look at this picture – that’s Boris Johnson with a glass in his hand. He must have known that the event was illegal. Therefore he lied.”
“That is a load of complete tripe. That picture was me, in my place of work, trying to encourage and thank my officials in a way that I believed was crucial for the government and for the country as a whole, and in a way which I believed to be wholly within the rules …
“This report is a charade. I was wrong to believe in the Committee or its good faith. The terrible truth is that it is not I who has twisted the truth to suit my purposes. It is Harriet Harman and her Committee.”
As you can see Lord Jackson has slammed the report and says it is to do with Brexit…
Boris Johnson Liz Truss comparison
So if he hadn’t quit and ran for the hills Johnson would have been suspended from Parliament for 90 days.
Well, this would have been twice as long as Liz Truss was PM, give or take as she lasted a historic 49 days.
Eventually she was forced out, and beaten by a lettuce.
