"Boris Johnson's Political Future Uncertain After Partygate Grilling"

TL;DR Summary
Boris Johnson faced a grilling by a cross-party committee of MPs investigating whether he deliberately misled parliament during the Partygate scandal. Johnson denied any wrongdoing and stuck rigidly to his lines, relying on advice from his former top aides. He only offered two apologies, but did not admit to intentionally or recklessly misleading parliament. The committee's ruling, which won't come for at least three weeks, could result in a suspension from parliament and a recall petition to trigger a by-election in Johnson's Uxbridge constituency.
