Boris Johnson ‘Deliberately’ Misled U.K. Parliament Over ‘Partygate’ Scandal, Privileges Committee Finds

variety.com:

Naman Ramachandran Boris Johnson was “deliberately disingenuous” about parties in his residence, No. 10 Downing Street, during COVID-19 lockdown, a parliamentary privileges committee has found.

When news emerged about the parties, Johnson was asked several times about the parties at the House of Commons, but denied them every time.

A privileges committee, with a majority from the Conservatives – the party that Johnson belongs to – was set up to look into the matter.

An advance copy of their findings was shared with Johnson who resigned as a member of parliament rather than risk suspension, which would have eventually led to his ouster, if found guilty.
