'Partygate': Boris Johnson deliberately misled UK Parliament, report says

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled U.K. Parliament over rule-breaking COVID lockdown parties, a committee said on Thursday in a damning report.

The privileges committee – the main disciplinary body for lawmakers – said Johnson had misled parliament on several occasions about Downing Street parties in a manner unprecedented for a prime minister.

“We conclude that in deliberately misleading the House Mr. Johnson committed a serious contempt,” the committee said.

Johnson, however, responded to the privileges committee’s findings against him, saying they are “rubbish,” “a lie” and “a charade,” further claiming the committee members are waging a vendetta against him.
