Boris Johnson Partygate 'lies' investigation begins - and it's led by Harriet Harman

The investigation into whether Boris Johnson deliberately misled MPs over Partygate has officially begun today.

Labour veteran Harriet Harman was confirmed as chair after the Privileges Committee finally met for the first time over the probe - two months after MPs ordered it.

The 71-year-old MP is known as the Mother of the House as she is the longest-serving current female MP, since 1982. She is respected by cross-party MPs and takes the role months after the death of her husband, the veteran Labour MP Jack Dromey.
