Has the jury of 7 made up its mind already?

HARRIET HARMAN LABOUR, CHAIRMAN

THE Labour grandee, named

the ‘Mother of the House’ because she is the longestserving female MP, was appointed chairman of the privileges committee in June – but there was anger that such an ‘overtly political’ figure could lead such a highprofile investigation.

She took over from Chris Bryant MP, who recused himself because he had repeatedly stated his strong opinion on Partygate. Yesterday Miss Harman faced the same calls after tweeting that in accepting fines, the PM and Chancellor were ‘admitting that they misled the Commons’.

ALLAN DORANS SNP

He re-posted a comment saying the initial report by senior civil servant Sue Gray into Partygate had ‘ already proved he [Boris Johnson] lied’. It added: ‘That is and always has been an automatic resignation issue.’

YVONNE FOVARGUE LABOUR

The ex- Citizens’ Advice Bureau boss, a Corbyn shadow minister, shared a post by a Labour MP saying ‘people feel let down, lied to, and laughed at by the Prime Minister and those around him’.

SIR BERNARD JENKIN CONSERVATIVE

The former Johnson ally skewered the PM in the days before his resignation, saying ‘there’s no question, it’s over’. In chairing a session of the liaison committee, he allowed a Labour MP to announce the resignation of members of the Government on live TV.

ALBERTO COSTA CONSERVATIVE

THE MP for South Leicestershire, an ardent backer of Penny Mordaunt, aimed a barb at Boris when he said the next PM must prioritise ‘standards and integrity’.

LAURA FARRIS CONSERVATIVE

THE ex-journalist and barrister, a backer of Rishi Sunak, has been described as a ‘Remainer who hates Boris’. She, Andy Carter and Alberto Costa all quit as parliamentary private secretaries to be on the committee investigation.

ANDY CARTER CONSERVATIVE

The Tory MP has refused to comment on Partygate investigations but, following the Prime Minister’s resignation, he said: ‘I believe this is the right thing to do, and is in the nation’s best interests.’
