Boris Johnson's Deceitful Conduct Exposed by U.K. Parliament

TL;DR Summary
A parliamentary committee in the UK has found that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament about parties he hosted in Downing Street during COVID lockdown. The committee recommended the harshest possible punishment, including a 90-day suspension and denial of access to the Westminster estate. Johnson resigned last week in anticipation of the findings and called the committee a "kangaroo court" and a "witch hunt." The report could spell the end of his political career, but there are fears he could continue to wield power over UK politics from outside Parliament.
