Guto Harri’s suggestion that Boris Johnson has been deprived of a livelihood by the Partygate report got absolutely shredded by SNP MP David Linden on Question Time last night.
The former prime minister has lashed out at the Privileges Committee’s ‘deranged’ findings after he was handed a 90 day suspension from parliament.

It came after they found he committed “repeated contempts” of Parliament by deliberately misleading the Commons with his partygate denials before being complicit in a campaign of abuse and intimidation of the committee.
Speaking on Question Time, Guto Harri said the conclusions have deprived Johnson of a livelihood.
