Boris Johnson will face MPs questions this week about whether he misled parliament over partygate.
I understand it will contain what his team will argue amounts to evidence that he did not knowingly mislead parliament.
Critics will — and already have - argued that this couldn't possibly be the case given he had actually attended some of the gatherings we later learnt about. Like any select committee, the questioning will begin from the chair, and then each MP will take it in turns to ask their set of questions. The committee has been meeting this week to divide up who will ask what and in what order.It's worth saying plenty of Conservative MPs think, hope, it is as good as over already. Others dream of political reincarnation.
