No Minor Slip-Up

Neither here nor here can you read the following passage from the print edition of Peter Hitchens's Mail on Sunday column:

All this empty fuss about Boris Johnson misleading the Commons about some cakes he didn't eat is such a waste of energy.

Why is there no inquiry into William Hague, who as Foreign Secretary in 2014, gravely misled the Commons about events in Ukraine?

This was no minor slip-up. His demonstrably wrong account of the violent, lawless and foreign-backed overthrow of Ukraine's democratically elected President led directly to our excusing this squalid putsch.

I've tried hard to get him to own up but he's stopped replying to my letters. If Parliament can investigate the Phillip Schofield affair, as it incredibly did last week, then it can investigate this.

Come on, Chris Bryant MP. Get to work.
