BREAKING: MPs approve privileges committee report saying Boris Johnson's allies tried to undermine partygate probe
Sir Jacob, the former business secretary, said:"There are some issues with this report, I think beginning, as it happens, with its title, 'co-ordinated campaign of interference'... there is no evidence that it was coordinated."
He added:"I'm not very often coordinated with the official line to take. Indeed, I have always thought that it is politically rather important that members should be independent in what they say and in how they vote, and therefore to make an assertion of co-ordination without evidence is a problem with this report."'I think that's a mic-drop Jacob Rees-Mogg'
Asked by Labour MP Dame Angela Eagle if he would like to apologise to the committee members for calling them"marsupials", Sir Jacob said:"I have absolutely no desire to impugn the integrity of individual members of the committee, some of whom I hold in very high regard." He also told MPs:"I've always thought it is important to get on well with people and to be courteous to them... across the House. But that doesn't mean that one can't criticise them.
"And it was legitimate, and it is legitimate, to question the position of the chairman of the committee.", which may be using cookies and other technologies.
