Former prime minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over whether coronavirus>Covid lockdown rules were broken in No 10, a Privileges Committee investigation has found.
Boris Johnson said the Privileges Committee was “beneath contempt” because it had reached a “deranged conclusion” to deliver “what is intended to be the final knife-thrust in a protracted political assassination”.
Former prime minister Boris Johnson would have faced a recommended suspension of 90 days from the Commons for deliberately misleading MPs and “being complicit in the campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation” of the Privileges Committee, had he not quit his seat in protest.
