Best thing he could do is to STFU.
What a prick.

There isn't a child star out there who isn't as mad as a lorry. Natalie Portman maybe.

Tory MPs being sent home. Very odd.

He's entitled to give his evidence, tbf.

True. But in general he needs to pipe doon

a bendy bus?

That is quite the knife to stick in. Some serious quotes for the campaign leaflets...

Fairly sure he has been a vocal critic for ages? Unlikely to change opinions unfortunately

General moral support would be great

They have said they won't whip them now

Steve Baker calling for Johnson to go surely must be the beginning of the end. Expecting to hear about more fines incoming shortly - there must be something in the offing.

Yeh, just read that, wierd they all turn on him when he isn't there, they had two days previously sat behind him cheering him
