Boris Johnson resigns from UK Parliament amidst Partygate scandal.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned as a Member of Parliament, citing a report from the Commons Select Committee of Privileges over whether he had deceived the House of Commons by saying that he followed all COVID-19 lockdown rules amid the "Partygate" scandal. Johnson defended his innocence and criticized current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for the Conservative Party's unpopularity. His resignation will trigger a by-election for his seat in a swing district.
