The British lawmaker accused a parliamentary committee tasked with examining whether he mislead the Government over COVID-19 breaches of trying to ‘drive him out of Parliament’.
Boris Johnson says he’s quitting as a conservative lawmaker after being told he will be sanctioned for misleading Parliament.
It comes as a parliamentary committee concluded the former premier had misled his Parliament over partygate COVID-19 rule breaches and was going to be sanctioned for more than 10 days.
The partygate scandal followed a series of gatherings by members of government and Conservative Party staff during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022 when public health guidelines recommended social distancing and prohibited social and large gatherings.
