Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has stepped down as an MP as the Parliamentary committee investigating the “partygate” scandal is set to announce its final verdict on whether he had lied to the House of Commons.
The House of Commons Privileges Committee, which is led by Labour MP Harriet Harman but has a Conservative majority, has been investigating whether Johnson misled Parliament when he repeatedly claimed that COVID-19 rules had been “followed at all times” in Downing Street.
