peaking ahead of today’s Commons vote on partygate, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds said:

“Welsh Conservative MPs should think carefully before voting to block an investigation into Boris Johnson’s lies. The public won’t stomach another Conservative stitch up that drags our democracy through the mud just to protect one of their own.

“The result in the by-election over the border in North Shropshire last December showed us just what the public thinks when Conservative MPs attempt to set one rule for one of their own and another for everyone else.

“Today’s vote is a vote of conscience. Every MP should vote to say what everyone knows to be true: Johnson broke the law and lied about it. 

“If Welsh Conservative MPs let themselves be bribed and blackmailed into letting Boris Johnson off the hook, it will be corruption pure and simple.”
