"Boris Johnson Found to Have Deliberately Misled UK Parliament on Covid Lockdown Breaches and Parties"

TL;DR Summary
A parliamentary committee has found that former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled lawmakers over breaches of his own Covid-19 lockdown rules during the Partygate scandal. The report recommends that Johnson is refused a pass to enter the parliamentary estate and calls his conduct a serious contempt of parliament. The investigation focused on whether Johnson knowingly misled lawmakers in the House of Commons when he reassured them that he was unaware of the parties. Johnson avoided a 90-day suspension from the Commons by resigning before the report was published and has claimed that the findings were politically motivated.
