Boris Johnson isn’t the only Tory in trouble for breaking the rules
Daniel Kawczynski: this was his justification for bullying his staff.
Here’s Daniel Kawczynski, MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham:
Conservative MP Daniel Kawczynski is facing a one-day suspension from the Commons after being found to have broken the rules over an apology he gave for bullying parliamentary staff.
So, not only was he found guilty of bullying his own staff – he has now been found guilty of breaking the rules for apologising about it!
The recommendation has been made by the Commons Standards Committee and follows comments the MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham made before he said sorry last June.
The committee ruled that interviews he gave on local radio and with a newspaper before the required apology in the Commons chamber meant he had failed to comply, as the apology was not “unequivocal”.
In its report, the committee said: “Although he says he was sincere by the time he made the apology to the House, he had that morning effectively undermined the sincerity of that apology by broadcasting the fact that he was making it because he was required to do so and he disagreed with the way the case had been conducted.
I wonder if he expected the government to change the rules for him, as it tried to do for his former North Shropshire colleague, Owen Paterson?

Well Jacob Rees Mogg stood up in Parliament actually stating that the ‘Rules’ at the time may have been too hard on those facing hardship not being able to be with loved ones… The same Rules this government put into place and agreed on! This will probably make way for Boris et al to blame the rules for him breaking the rules….as ridiculous as it sounds …I expect this is how it will pan out!!
