'Boris Johnson's Partygate Deception Exposed'

TL;DR Summary
A report by the UK Parliament's privileges committee has found that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over his knowledge of COVID-19 lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street. The report accuses Johnson of committing "a serious contempt of the House" and being complicit in a "campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee." The report has no legal consequences, but lawmakers will vote on whether to endorse its findings and sanctions. Johnson resigned ahead of the report's release, claiming there was a "witch hunt" underway.
