It is.

Then again Johnson usually does have to be dragged to do the right thing.

In this case however, likely very sad for it to be anymore than a lip service talking shop.

I do wish Starmer would speed up.

However, Johnson had a pretty critical and bad start to this debate, from his OWN side.

Starmer is making valid points, he's just taking too long about it.

Although that's a bit rich from me since I ramble on loads.

No need for it, just a waste of time and money, it’s a monumental balls up that you would hope won’t be repeated eve, and no one needs an enquiry to tell them that

Since there was not going to be a vote on this, it could have just been a talking shop.

However, some of the speeches were outstanding.
To name 3.
Tom Tugendhat, Tobias Ellwood and Harriett Harman.

However one thing was clear, the one at odds with most was the PM himself.
It must have been very uncomfortable from the start for him, not having his usual glowing praise showered on him by his backbenchers.

Good viewing however and showed the MPs in a better light, despite the government front bench and their seeming lack of real understanding.
