Another Boris backer Nick Fletcher argued that only Conservative MPs should be allowed to judge if fellow Tories have broken the rules. “If Man City’s star player had to sit in front of seven of his peers for a hearing how fair would it be if three of them were Man United players? Not very.”
Flawless logic and a talent for figurative rhetoric there, ladies and gents!
They already have a large majority of MPs, both in the Commons in general and on the Priviliges Committee specifically. The system already has “governing party stitchup” built in as an optional feature.
You could replace the non-conservatives on the committee with the biggest Boris fans and the report would still have passed committee with a majority. What a terrible analogy for many reasons.

“We are basically children who cannot hold an adult discussion - also please vote me in at the next election”
hard to know where to begin with that.
How about “Oh fuck off, Nick”, and end there as well?
