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."

Johnson resigned ahead of the report's release, claiming there was a "witch hunt" underway.
