'That's A Mic Drop, Jacob': Harriet Harman Silences Rees-Mogg Over 'Bias' Smear
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/that-s-a-mic-drop-jacob-harriet-harman-silences-rees-mogg-over-bias-smear/ar-AA1cKVNV?cvid=2ca29f4d00114c15813359fd8c3a0e14&ocid=winp2fptaskbar&ei=4Harriet Harman silenced Jacob Rees-Mogg with her answer
Jacob Rees-Mogg was silenced by Harriet Harman as the pair clashed during the debate on whether Boris Johnson should lose his parliamentary pass for repeatedly lying to MPs.
The former cabinet minister suggested Harman - who chaired the privileges committee which found the former MP guilty - was biased because of tweets she posted about partygate before taking up the role.

She added: “I was assured that I should continue the work that the House had mandated with the appointment that the House put me into and so I did just that.”
One MP could be heard shouting: “I think that’s a mic drop, Jacob Rees-Mogg.”
