‘He’s the prime minister!’: Debbonaire blasts Sunak’s silence on privileges committee report

Speaking in the debate on the privileges committee special report today, shadow leader of the House Thangam Debbonaire accused the Conservative party of dragging the reputation of the House of Commons “through the mud”.

She said moreover: “At the liaison committee last week. The prime minister said he hasn’t even read the report. It is not long. It is about his own MPs. Has he read the report now? Does he understand why this matters so much? If so, does the leader [Penny Mordaunt] know If we’ll get to hear what he thinks of today’s motion? Does he accept the committee’s conclusions?”.
