I entirely and unsurprisingly, in view of the earlier comment, agree with Lord Lexden.
Today the Commons will debate the Privileges Committee report into Johnson having misled the House of Commons on multiple occasions, but the only sanction that they have left available to them is to remove his pass to the Parliamentary estate in Westminster. I suspect that this is of no consequence to him, and is it best a token gesture.
On the other hand, removing Johnson's membership of the Privy Council, in turn stripping him of the right to claim the title 'The Right Honourable' (which he clearly is not), would I imagine, hurt him a great deal. He would be reduced to being plain Mr Johnson, and rightly so because he has demonstrated himself to be unfit to be privy to anything. I hope that happens.
Thanks for reading this post.

Through this key part of the process, we are going to see just how seriously Johnson is going to be dealt with. This the crucial bit, this will be the validation of either he is finished or they are just going through the motions?
Having the Right Honourable term for many of the MPs is a farce.. Many of those MPs have proven themselves to be wrong and dishonourable. Like many ‘discussions’ in the HoC, it is all a joke to them
