UPON publication of the Privileges Comittee report into whether Boris Johnson misled Parliament over partygate, many of us have awoken with fury on this Thursday morning.
The committee recommended a 90-day suspension after he misled Parliament multiple times and we're glad to see the back of him.
But if Beth Rigby's tweet on the report is anyting to go by, it would appear one SNP MP on the committee suggested blowing Johnson up.
The Sky News political editor tweeted: "Thats a much longer suspension than expected. Long but not the longest - Keith Vaz was suspended for 6 months. Unanimous verdict (apart SNP MP on cttee who recommended explosion)."
The obvious blunder has caused much hilarity across social media and Rigby eventually caught on as she deleted it.
Well he sure has created some fireworks I suppose...so maybe that MP got what they wanted in the end!
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
