Certain media organisations, which should know better, are prattling on about MPs voting on today's Boris report that will ban him for 90 days.
To be absolutely clear, it is not guaranteed that there will be a vote.
The proceedings will begin with Commons leader Penny Mordaunt tabling a one-line motion suggesting MPs approve the committee’s report. Labour and the other parties have tacitly agreed not to amend the motion.
A debate will then take place, and MPs will be asked to say whether they approve the motion by shouting “aye” or “no.” While one or two Boris loyalists such as Bill Cash may shout “no,” Speaker Lindsay Hoyle is unlikely to call a full vote unless more than a small number of MPs follow suit.
In other news, it's Boris's birthday today.
