From Wikipedia - emphasis mine.

Is history repeating itself?
The Johnson cult, formerly misidentified as a cargo cult, was initiated on New Hanover Island in Papua New Guinea in 1964.
Although initially labeled a cargo cult, it has since been characterized as “political theater”.
Also
Outsiders saw the Johnson cult as a cargo cult brought on by isolation, lack of education, poor economic development, and overall lack of understanding of the modern world.

One thing this debate is doing is drawing attention to the hitherto un-noticed, copper-bottomed, unreconstructed, suppurating arseholes of Tory MPs. Ladies and gentlemen, defending, defending Boris Johnson, here is the appalling former PPS to Boris Johnson, the MP for Great Grimsby, one Lia Nici. FFS.

Well, in the confines of private offices, who knows?

Anyway, turns out she's another chancer from the Michelle Mone school of CV padding. Ran an alleged TV channel for Humberside which may or may not have existed, but certainly pocketed a lot of public money.

I noted with some amusement the first person up to defend Johnson is called ‘Lia’

Jake Berry backed her up.

There's some weapons-grade filibustering coming from the Tory back benches.

Dawn Butler was definitely enjoying being able to call a liar a liar at last. And will be making a formal request for a note to be placed in Hansard to say that when she was ejected from the Commons for refusing to withdraw calling a liar a liar, that the liar was later found by a parliamentary committee to officially be a liar.
