Speaker should go further an request disclosure of sources of the story and comments and refer to the relevant Committee - with 56 MP's reported for various offences this sort of behaviour needs to be stamped out in Parliament

Can someone not look at the terms of employment at MoS? I would have thought he would be in breach of contract for a normal company.

Reading dozens of tweets about the article this morning there was a barely mention of the political editor who wrote it, which is of course, part of the problem, so hope the Speaker will / can do something tomorrowโฆ

The anonymous source and everyone involved in this story should have their hard drives checked.

The disgusting sexism of the piece rightly condemned, but how did he think it might help Johnson?
The argument a man so easily distracted by a woman's legs is A) the best person to be Prime Minister and B) not vulnerable to blackmail using 'honeytraps' is not a sensible one.

No, he should not. And the usual suspects can whine all they like about "cancel culture". Actions have consequences.

Well that would be a start, having his pass revoked:

Have these client journalists crossed a line with the
@AngelaRayner
story. Are there sufficient grounds for legal recourse, or at least a complain to the PPC?

Wouldnโt disagree with that, but how about those Tories it apparently came from. I bet a few know who they are

It's a deflection. A squirrel to divert attention and it appears to be working. There'll be another squirrel along in a few days....

It would be amazing to be actually able to prove Johnson planted this story. It's pretty obvious he did.

Free speech had never and should never mean free from consequences. What journalists say and write has implications. They must be held to account.
