Boris braces for Partygate report release that will find whether he misled MPs
BORIS Johnson was told he would be suspended from Parliament for 90 DAYS – as he hit out at its “deranged” conclusions.
The Privileges Committee found Mr Johnson deliberately misled MPs repeatedly – when he insisted no lockdown rules were broken.
The 14-month probe by the Commons Privileges Committee today ruled that the ex-PM misled MPs over lockdown-breaking gatherings in No10.
Furious BoJo has dismissed the investigation as a “kangaroo court” and a “witch hunt”.
MPs are set to vote on what sanction to dish out on Monday.
Ahead of today’s report Mr Johnson gazumped the expected result by quitting as an MP.
In a 30,000-word paper, the committee of MPs skewered Mr Johnson for repeatedly claiming that no rules were broken.
But last night, in a surprise twist, it was revealed that one of the top committee members himself was revealed to have attended his own lockdown party.
The former prime minister called for Sir Bernard Jenkin to resign and wrote to the committee last night claiming that he should have recused himself from the investigation.
Sir Bernard is alleged to have attended an event at which drinks and cake were served to mark his wife’s 65th birthday in December 2020.
