Report on Boris Johnson’s Partygate Assurances to be Published Promptly After His Resignation from the Commons

…By Lola Smith for TDPel Media.

The cross-party panel of MPs will meet on Monday to finalize its inquiry.

Mr. Johnson accused the committee, chaired by veteran Labour MP Harriet Harman, of bias and suggested that its investigation aimed to drive him out of Parliament due to its desire to reverse Brexit.

While leaving the possibility of a return to frontline politics open, Mr. Johnson strongly criticized the Privileges Committee, claiming that their unpublished report is filled with inaccuracies and prejudice and that he had no formal opportunity to challenge its contents.

Mr. Johnson left office in September amid various scandals, including the partygate controversy surrounding lockdown breaches in Downing Street, the Owen Paterson lobbying affair, and his handling of complaints against former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher.
