Boris Johnson was compared to Monty Python’s black knight and branded a “lame duck” in the Commons following a confidence vote in his leadership where 148 Conservative MPs rebelled against him.
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford likened the Prime Minister’s reaction to surviving the confidence vote to the comedy troupe’s knight, who claimed his mortal injuries were just flesh wounds in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
