Defenders of European Democratic Values : Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada (#Ukraine #Parliament) voted to officially ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, forcing it to merge with the government-backed "Orthodox #Church of Ukraine "

According to Patriarch Bartholomew, he believes that the reports in the international media about the unfairness of the persecutions of Metropolitan Paul, Metropolitan Jonathan, Metropolitan Feodosiy, Metropolitan Ioasaph and Metropolitan Longin have no grounds. The head of the Ecumenical Patriarchate is convinced that all of them have violated Ukrainian law and should be held accountable for their actions.

The row over Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list highlights why it should be the last

'Grubby horse trading' in UK government

The recent days have seen the national focus pulled onto the House of Lords through the public row between Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson over the latter’s resignation honours list.

While the spat has provided high political drama it has also shown how low our constitutional politics has sunk. The varying accounts of what Mr Johnson and Mr Sunak agreed over the honours list have pulled back the curtain on the grubby horse-trading that goes on around choosing who sits in the upper chamber.

Yet, the impact of this list will last long after the melodrama between the Prime Minister and his predecessor has subsided. For instance, each of the seven new peers has been handed a job-for-life in parliament, which means potentially decades of influence legislating for the public, with which most have had little meaningful contact.

Lying liars gonna lie.

Boris #Johnson misled MPs.

The Commons privileges found Johnson committed five serious offences:
1. Deliberately misleading the Commons
2. Deliberately misleading the privileges committee
3. Breaching confidence (by leaking part of the report in advance)
4. “Impugning” the committee, and thus parliamentary processes
5. Complicity in a “campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee”.

The report said he did this by:

  • Saying guidance was followed fully at No 10, and that this had been the case when he attended gatherings.
  • Failing to tell the Commons about his own knowledge of gatherings where rules or guidance was broken.
  • Saying he relied on assurances from officials and others that rules had not been broken. These “were not accurately represented by him to the house”, the report found, and were not properly authoritative.
  • Saying he could not answer questions before the issues had been investigation by Sue Gray, the senior civil servant who initially reported on the parties, when he already had personal knowledge he did not reveal.
  • Purporting to correct the record, but instead continued to mislead, and also misleading the committee with continued denials.
  • Being “deliberately disingenuous when he tried to reinterpret his statements to the house to avoid their plain meaning”, for example making “unsustainable interpretations” of Covid rules to justify gatherings.

If Johnson had not resigned as an #MP, the committee would have recommended a 90-day suspension from #parliament
