Privileges committee chair says Tory colleagues stood up to ‘real harassment’ during inquiry into ex-PM’s statements
Harriet Harman has said the four Conservative MPs who ruled Boris Johnson misled the Commons carried out “heroic service” by withstanding intolerable pressure from other Tory backbenchers.
The Labour MP said her Tory colleagues on the Commons privileges committee suffered “real harassment” from Johnson’s supporters, who wanted to interfere with the inquiry into the former prime minister’s Partygate statements at Westminster.
