Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Theresa May slams Boris Johnson’s Government over Tory sleaze scandal” – below is their description.
Speaker Lindsay Hoyle announced that a motion approving the standards report into the former minister had been passed without a formal division. It was the third time the findings had come before the House, with Boris Johnson having caused a meltdown with an abortive attempt to save his ally from punishment a fortnight ago. The second effort was derailed late last night when veteran Tory Christopher Chope shouted ‘object’, forcing the government to bring a debate and vote today. Despite a furious backlash from colleagues who branded him a ‘selfish tw**’, Sir Christopher insisted this afternoon that he had ‘no regrets’ about stopping the measure going through ‘on the nod’. Opening the hour-long debate, Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg humbly admitted he had made a ‘mistake’ in pushing the retrospective overhaul of the standards system. Former PM Theresa May also waded in by condemning the government’s behaviour as ‘ill-judged and just plain wrong’.
