Partygate: Boris Johnson seeks to delay vote on investigation

MPs were set to hav a vote on whether Boris Johnson had misled parliament1, and so if he should resign2. If they are all whipped to vote in support of the big dog it should easily turn out in Johnsons favour. Now they are running scared that he might not get enough support, some of them might do the right thing! So best delay the vote.

Thing two is going back to school today, he's forgotten (so far) about his finger falling off yesterday. I am working, but do not have to go into London today which is handy. Clare and thing two have already gone about their day.

UPDATE: they've decided not to delay the vote on the investigation! This probably means it's already decided one way or another. Hopefully enough of the backbenchers have had enough of him.
