On her talk show on Talk TV Nadine Dorries made some comments that have called into question her behaviour and that of the channel itself.
She claimed there is “no doubt” the Privileges Committee will find against Boris Johnson as she labelled the partygate investigation a “kangaroo court”.
The former culture secretary who is a leading ally of the former prime minister said the committee had “demonstrated very clearly that they have decided early on to find him guilty”.
She said: “Boris Johnson will be found guilty by this kangaroo court. There is no doubt about that. And that in itself will be a disgraceful and possibly unlawful conclusion with serious reputational consequences.”
Misled
But on her Talk TV chat show, due to be broadcast tonight, Dorries said: “I don’t think there was ever a world in which this committee was going to find Boris innocent.
″The committee have demonstrated very clearly that they have decided early on to find him guilty.
″The committee knew that they had not a shred of evidence to prove that he misled with intent. They changed the rules, lowered the bar and inserted the vague term ‘reckless’ into the terms of reference.
″Boris Johnson will be found guilty by this kangaroo court. There is no doubt about that, and that in itself will be a disgraceful, and possibly unlawful, conclusion with serious reputational consequences.”
