How a guy, allegedly so brilliant, not to mention expensive, in his field had not seen, let alone worked out for himself what a complete dickhead Bodgit is before agreeing to defend him (at our expense) is beyond me. That he couldn't then work out what a dickhead he is once he was engaged to defend him beggars belief. The only thing funnier would have been if Braverman was defending him, then again she was busy booking flights to Rwanda for her and her mates in the RW Press. Pity they didn't keep them all there for a few years.
Yes, he and his firm are getting bloody well paid - but that's his reputation done potentially far more harm in the short term. Bodgit meanwhile will trouser the same amount in fees and more for another talk about 'Peppa Pig World' or the 'Spongebob Square Pants Experience' somewhere in the States and they'll all think he's brilliant because he's got a posh English accent.
The CONS now have another dilemma as it's pretty obvious they (nearly) all think he's a busted flush. There's still a few blowing smoke up his arse (about 20 at the last count?). If the Committee recommend sitting him on the naughty step for more than 10 days, then that will trigger a recall byelection. That means they have to fund his campaign, show their arses (maybe not their bare arses though) on the Town Hall steps and all that. On the other hand if it's less, then they can go on ignoring him (to some extent) but know he'll drop something that looks, like, smells like and has been polished like a big fat turd sprinkled with glitter in their laps at any point before the next GE.
That will include taking any opportunity to get himself in front of a news camera or onto a political programme to push his own version of whatever bollox he wants to spout off about (usually, The EU, Brexit, Norn Iron, Ukraine for starters). Surely Putin can find him a chair at one of those bloody long tables of his and keep him quiet for a while? After all, he and his mates have paid enough into his and the Tory Party coffers to owe us another little favour by now?
Or did it all come from Ukraine Oligarchs? Nah!
Or spout even more bollox in Lagos apparently.

Still struggling with that truth serum.
"Johnson’s appearance in Lagos is the latest in a long line of speaking engagements for the private sector. He has received £2.5m as an advance for speeches, meaning he received earnings, hospitality and donations worth more than £5m in the first six months after leaving office.
As well as a lucrative tour of the global speaking circuit since exiting No 10, addressing investors in the technology behind cryptocurrency, insurers and investment bankers, he has taken more than £500,000 as an advance for a memoir. At the same time, he has stayed on in his main job as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip."
