At £5000 an our Johnsons lawyer could have come up with some better excuses. To be fair to Lord Pinnock Johnson was doing OK when he started off with the script. Unfortunately he had to actually answer the questions (unlike PMQT). His credibility is now destroyed. To make it worse for him the rebellion he hoped to ignite became a whimper with just 22 tories viting against the Government on the Stormont break. Further attempts to implicate Sunak during the committee hearing also seemed to come to nothing.
Sunak also manahed to smeak out his redacted tax pyments for the last 3 years (£1million paid). Johnsons best bet looks like being asked to host a GBNews programme with other losers like Sleaze-Dogg and Farage. The ERG will no doubt have a few more rants and concentrate on “Culture Wars”. Is Sunak now brave enough to see them off?
