"Report finds Boris Johnson lied to Parliament about lockdown parties"

An investigation by British lawmakers found that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson "deliberately misled" the House of Commons twice about a series of alcohol-fueled parties at 10 Downing Street during pandemic lockdowns. Johnson resigned from Parliament last week after seeing a draft of the committee report, which could have led to his suspension or expulsion from Westminster. The Privileges Committee recommended that Johnson be denied the Westminster pass that allows former lawmakers easy access to Parliament after they leave office. Johnson's premiership was undone by the scandal known as "Partygate."
