Good morning. A 14-month-long parliamentary investigation into whether Boris Johnson lied to parliament over lockdown-breaking gatherings during the pandemic – which took place while the rest of the country was forced to stay inside and away from friends and family – has finally published its report. It is 30,000 words long and the culmination of months of rigorous evidence gathering.
Brace yourself: it found that the former prime minister did indeed lie. Again. What a shocker.
