Former ministers Nadine Dorries and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg are among those heavily criticised by a Commons committee of waging a campaign to undermine its investigation into Boris Johnson.
The ex-PM quit as an MP after the committee found he misled Parliament over Covid breaches at No 10.
In a new report, the committee accused the allies of Mr Johnson of mounting "vociferous attacks" on the committee.
Other Tories criticised include Dame Priti Patel and Lord Zac Goldsmith.
The former home secretary and current Foreign Office minister are among seven MPs and three peers identified as attacking the committee.
The others were Tory MPs Mark Jenkinson, Sir Michael Fabricant, Brendan Clarke-Smith and Dame Andrea Jenkyns and peers Lord Cruddas and Lord Greenhalgh.

Angela Rayner was correct, must have been awful having to apologise.
Moggy really didn't deserve that Knighthood. But part of me thinks that despite his tw*tishness he is more than aware that Boris would inevitably mess everything up and he achieved his ambition. He's a Knight while most of his cohorts are left with nothing and in the political and social wilderness. He played his hand and got what he wanted.

Yes - although a large part of "his hand" are the cards he got dealt (his family background) rather than his skills in playing the game.Fundoreen said:
Anyone watch the c4 doco on boris the traitor and his russian friends last night?. No wonder he is not even an mp anymore
and the usa works around us.
But it's OK. He's not called Corbyn. If your a Tory you can be friends/indebted to the Russians. Can't do any harm, it's not like they are in power or anything. Oh, oops, wait a minute....and the usa works around us.

Whenever I see Rees-Mogg I think of an inept boss of mine who was always critical of whatever anyone did. Never made a decision in his life. He too had a weirdly shaped head, and hair to go with it. He displayed a conceit that fooled no one. He was quite intelligent, with a good degree, but everything he touched, every option he picked, went badly wrong.
As for Dorries, there are few who would notice whether they were being savaged by her.
Patel, Braverman, Goldsmith, Fabricant (Fabricant? No one would want him on their side. He's like the last person picked for a game of football in the park) and the other wasters are an embarrassment. It's appalling that they have influence in the running of this country.
I'm not a fan.

Yes indeed but I don't think Lord Moggy Sr was all that bad. Certainly wouldn't have acted as his son has in my view.Even if he was equally clueless (hence the Mystic Mogg nickname) he didn't seem to have that vindictive streak.

Rayner's mistake was not using the word 'some'. Some people are scum, some are Tory scum. Some Labour, whatever. But crikey, the way this is unfolding she was pretty close to the mark, wasn't she? And I can say this because this is the GRRRR BORIS thread, isn't it?
No, this is the GRRRR DONT CRITISISE BORIS thread. After 3 years of an utter st show, you can't come up with anything better than "grrrr boris" as an attempt to shut down conversation?

I actually find it quite funny how people lost their st over that one.She was wrong to say it but my god it turns out she had a point.
