"Partygate" report reveals Boris Johnson's misleading of parliament and sparks Conservative party split.
A parliamentary report released on Thursday found that former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had misled fellow lawmakers over breaches in coronavirus rules on at least five occasions, acted in contempt of Parliament, and undermined the body's democratic process. The report also accused Johnson of being "deliberately disingenuous." The Privileges Committee requested that Johnson be stripped of his member's pass, a perk granted to former lawmakers that allows them to continue accessing the parliamentary estate in London's Westminster. Johnson denied the accusations and accused the committee of political bias.
