Boris Johnson's Political Future in Jeopardy Amidst Partygate Scandal.

TL;DR Summary
Boris Johnson, former UK prime minister, faced questioning by a committee of MPs about the Partygate scandal, in which Covid rules were broken during gatherings in Downing Street while the country was in lockdown. Johnson denied any parties had taken place, but later admitted his statements were wrong. The committee is now investigating whether he made them "recklessly". If found guilty, he could face suspension and a byelection in his constituency, which could sink his political career. Johnson's allies insist he has done nothing wrong, but his support among colleagues and voters is waning.
