Boris Johnson committed “repeated contempts” of Parliament with his partygate denials that merited a 90-day suspension, a cross-party investigation has found.
Boris Johnson committed “repeated contempts” of Parliament by deliberately misleading MPs with his partygate denials before being complicit in a campaign of abuse and intimidation, a cross-party investigation has found.
Mr Johnson hit out at what he called a “deranged conclusion”, accusing the Tory-majority group of MPs he has repeatedly sought to disparage of lying. The MPs had provisionally agreed a suspension long enough to potentially trigger a by-election before he resigned in protest at the findings, attacking the committee as a “kangaroo court”.
“Mr Johnson’s conduct in making this statement is in itself a very serious contempt,” the report said.
