"UK Parliament Votes on Partygate Report Amidst Johnson's Controversies"

TL;DR Summary
On his 59th birthday, Boris Johnson faces a debate in Parliament over a report that concluded he had lied to the legislative body about breaking pandemic lockdown rules. If the House of Commons backs the report's conclusions, Johnson could be denied a lifetime pass to parliamentary buildings. Last week, the Privileges Committee concluded that Johnson had knowingly misled Parliament, which could lead to sanctions or a recall election. Johnson avoided a more severe sanction by preemptively resigning his seat. The Conservative Party is facing multiple scandals, and the government is trailing the opposition Labour Party in the polls.
