A parliamentary inquiry has concluded that former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson actively misled MPs multiple times with his statements in response to the so-called Partygate scandal, in which he and his staff were accused of breaking social distancing rules during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The conclusion was released today in a report by the Privileges Committee of the House of Commons, which was investigating the scandal. In the report, the Committee said if Johnson were still an MP, it would recommend a suspension for 90 days.
The report also states that two MPs on the committee were in favor of expelling Johnson from the Commons — a move that would have forced an immediate by-election in his former London seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
The committee also recommended that Johnson, who resigned as an MP last week after seeing an early draft of the report, should not be granted a former member’s pass to parliament. This is customary for former MPs.
In its summary arguments, the committee said: The committee had provisionally concluded that Mr. Johnson deliberately misled the house and should be sanctioned for it by being suspended for a period that would trigger the provisions of the Recall of MPs Act 2015. In light of Mr Johnson’s conduct in committing a further contempt on 9 June 2023, the committee now considers that if Mr Johnson were still a member he should be suspended from the service of the House for 90 days for repeated contempts and for seeking to undermine the parliamentary process, by:
a) Deliberately misleading the house.b) Deliberately misleading the committee.c) Breaching confidence.d) Impugning the committee and thereby undermining the democratic process of the house.e) Being complicit in the

It’s been reported that Clive Myrie was removed from presenting BBC Ten O’Clock News because of some jokes he’d made about Boris Johnson during Have I Got News For You.
Naman Ramachandran Respected British broadcaster Clive Myrie was removed at the last minute from presenting an edition of the BBC’s “News at Ten” last week, according to a report in the U.K.’s Times newspaper. Myrie was replaced by Jane Hill as the news bulletin presenter on June 16 because BBC chief content officer Charlotte Moore had impartiality concerns regarding the ruling Conservative party, per the Times. Earlier that evening, Myrie had hosted the BBC’s “Have I Got News For You,” a satirical comedy quiz show that grills celebrity contestants on the week’s top stories and news, where he made several jokes about former Prime Minister Boris Johnson who had been found guilty of deliberately misleading the U.K. parliament over the ‘partygate’ scandal.
partygate? Footage of Tory staff drinking, dancing and mocking Covid laws at the height of the lockdown. The explosive, 35-second clip — the first ever video of that now-infamous Christmas party at the Conservative Party HQ— was exposed by The Mirror over the weekend and shows officials (including two named on Boris Johnson’s controversial resignation honours list last week) dressed up in Christmas jumpers, dancing and appearing to joke about pandemic restrictions at a time when indoor socialising was banned in December 2020 — and the same day then health-secretary Matt Hancock announced that London would enter tier 3 restrictions.

During his time on Australian soap, Neighbours, Mark Little played the iconic Joe Mangal, who had a relatively clean-cut appearance. In contrast to his character, who had short dark hair and no facial hair, the 63 year old appeared unrecognisable in a recent TV appearance. Speaking on the BBC's cricket talk show, View from the Boundary in the UK, Mark had a considerably more rugged appearance with wavy long grey hair and a new bushy beard. After resurfacing on TV over the weekend, the Brisbane-born soap star, who now lives in Wales, was compared to the likes of Top Gear's James May, and even former UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
A new Partygate police probe could be launched as previously unseen footage has been released showing Tory staff partying and breaking lockdown rules in December 2020. A bombshell video reveals how officials mocked strict Covid regulations at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London.
Naman Ramachandran A day after a U.K. parliamentary privileges committee concluded that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson was “deliberately disingenuous” about parties in his residence during COVID-19 lockdown, he has landed a plum writing gig. Johnson will write a weekly column for U.K. tabloid The Daily Mail. His previous journalism experience includes being the Brussels correspondent, and later political columnist, for The Daily Telegraph, followed by the editorship of The Spectator. After he became a politician, he wrote a column for The Telegraph, which ceased in 2019. The Mail teased Johnson’s appointment on Friday and confirmed it later the same day.

Rod Stewart has explained why he is “still a bit of a fan” of Boris Johnson. The “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” singer shared his views on the former prime minister after a damning report found that he repeatedly lied to Parliament about gatherings in Downing Street during lockdown.

Boris Johnson committed “repeated contempts” of Parliament with his partygate denials that merited a 90-day suspension, a cross-party investigation has found.
Naman Ramachandran Boris Johnson was “deliberately disingenuous” about parties in his residence, No. 10 Downing Street, during COVID-19 lockdown, a parliamentary privileges committee has found. When news emerged about the parties, Johnson was asked several times about the parties at the House of Commons, but denied them every time. A privileges committee, with a majority from the Conservatives – the party that Johnson belongs to – was set up to look into the matter. An advance copy of their findings was shared with Johnson who resigned as a member of parliament rather than risk suspension, which would have eventually led to his ouster, if found guilty.
