"Johnson's Partygate Scandal Continues to Rock UK Politics"
TL;DR Summary
The Privileges Committee will publish its report on Thursday after a year-long inquiry into whether Boris Johnson misled Parliament over Partygate. Johnson resigned as an MP after receiving an advance copy of the report, which he said found him guilty "regardless of the facts". On Wednesday, Johnson called for a committee member to resign over claims the MP had breached Covid restrictions. The Guido Fawkes website alleged that Sir Bernard Jenkin, a senior Conservative MP on the committee, attended a drinks party for his wife's birthday in the House of Commons in December 2020.
