The Commons could now vote for Boris Johnson's right to enter parliament to be revoked, given the former prime minister has already resigned as an MP.
MPs will today decide whether to sanction Boris Johnson after the privileges committee found he repeatedly misled the House of Commons.found the breaches were serious enough to recommend a suspension of 90 days - a sanction long enough to trigger a potential by-election.
decision to stand down with immediate effect means MPs will no longer be voting on his future in parliament but instead on whether they agree with the report, and whether he should be, arguing a letter from the committee made clear"that they are determined to use the proceedings against me to drive me out of parliament".Mr Johnson has been telling his supporters not to push to a vote, Sky News understands.
