Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been slammed as 'pound shop Winston Churchill tribute act' after a damning Privileges Committee report where he was found to have committed "repeated contempts" of parliament.
The damning judgement by the cross-party privileges committee found that Mr Johnson had misled his fellow MPs deliberately through his repeated denials around the partygate scandal.
It also accused the ex-PM of being complicit in a campaign filled with abuse and intimidation, and recommended a 90-day suspension from the House of Commons - which would have been voted on by MPs on Monday, had Mr Johnson not already resigned last week upon receiving the report.
