If you only watch one moment from the Commons’ debate into the privileges committee’s devastating report into Boris Johnson, then make it this one.

It’s Conservative MP Lia Nici telling MPs that she believed Johnson didn’t actually lie, contrary to all the evidence received by the committee.

Here’s the Tory MP and former Johnson aide, pictured during the Commons debate on Monday.

"I cannot see where the evidence is where Boris Johnson misled Parliament, knowingly" says Conservative MP Lia Nici, while holding the report detailing all of the many times he did just that. pic.twitter.com/KvVHW7rxfq

Tory Politics in a Nutshell:

1) Johnson’s ex aide, Lia Nici stated: “I cannot see where the evidence is where Boris Johnson misled Parliament”

2) She “cannot see” the evidence. While HOLDING the evidence in her hands.

3) Abstains from vote anyway. pic.twitter.com/ELJemFXIkH

To conclude …

I'm embarrassed for Lia Nici.
