Boris Johnson's three-hour defence over whether he intentionally or recklessly misled Parliament appears not to have convinced a BBC Question Time audience.
Not a single participant at the show in Newcastle-Under-Lyme raised their hand up when asked if the shamed ex-PM was "telling the truth" over his Partygate interrogation.
Aired on Thursday evening, BBC presenter Fiona Bruce made clear that a majority of the audience had voted for the Tories at the 2019 general election.
She said: "We can do a poll. It's not scientific. I want to emphasise that. Let's have a show of hands shall we: Who believes Boris Johnson was telling the truth yesterday?"
Ms Bruce also asked if anyone believed that there was a "way back for Boris Johnson" after his appearance in front of senior MPs on Wednesday at the Privileges Committee.
Just one man appeared to raise his hand, prompting laughter as he said: "He's like that saucepan - nothing sticks to him - so he's probably going to come back anyway."
The unanimous verdict from the BBC Question Time audience comes as the ex-Prime Minister fights for his political survival.
Last night new polling showed that two-thirds of voters believe he knowingly misled the House of Commons - despite Mr Johnson's repeated denials.
Figures released by YouGov on Thursday found that just 15% of voters do not believe he did so following an ill-tempered appearance on Wednesday.
While allies of Mr Johnson try to present the Privileges Committee probe as a "stitch up", 66% of the public believe it is right that it is carried out.
YouGov said Mr Johnson "did little to shift public opinion" yesterday when he was questioned about the scandal.
MPs on the Committee are now examining Mr Johnson's evidence and will decide in the coming months whether he intentionally or recklessly misled the Commons.
If it rules against him, he could be suspended from the Commons - and may even be forced to fight a by-election in his west London constituency.
