The Uncertain Fate of Boris Johnson's Political Career.

TL;DR Summary
The UK Parliament's Privileges Committee is investigating whether former Prime Minister Boris Johnson misled the House of Commons over parties held during the pandemic. The committee will determine if Johnson was recklessly or intentionally misleading, with the former being an easier conclusion to reach. A suspension from the Commons of 10 sitting days or more could lead to a by-election and potential defeat in his constituency. The committee's report is expected to be released in late spring or early summer and will have a lasting impact on Johnson's reputation and political future.
