The parliamentary committee investigating former UK PM Boris Johnson and the so-called Partygate scandal (aka the gatherings he held/attended during England’s COVID lockdowns) published its report last night. It concluded that Johnson knew about the COVID rules banning get-togethers, knew he was in breach of the rules, and deliberately misled the Parliament to cover his tracks. The report recommends a 90-day suspension – but he’s already quit politics in anticipation of the report’s findings. He maintains that he believed the gatherings were lawful at the time. Johnson’s shifting accounts of the whole saga were a factor in his Conservative Party colleagues dumping him from the leadership last year. And pundits say it’s a lingering headache for his former colleagues as they now have to vote on the report’s findings.
