The reason is the report of the committee that investigated the parties in Parliament during the lockdown due to the coronavirus.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned as an MP over the Committee’s report into the Partygate case. On Friday, June 9, The Guardian reported.
It was noted that the Committee on the privileges of the House of Commons accused the former prime minister of knowing about parties during the Covid lockdown in Downing Street and deliberately misleading Parliament.
In turn, Johnson said that the authors of the report on the case did not provide any evidence of this.
“The Committee’s report is full of inaccuracies and smacks of warning. Their intention was originally to impeach me regardless of the facts. It is very sad to leave Parliament, at least for now, I am confused and stunned,” Johnson said.
He admitted he had misled Parliament, but said he had done so recklessly.
The scandal emerged in December 2021, when The Guardian newspaper published pictures of Johnson and his wife surrounded by some civil servants in the Downing Street garden on May 20, 2020, when the country’s lockdown was implemented .
It will be recalled that in July of last year, Johnson resigned as prime minister due to another scandal involving the former Deputy Foreign Minister for European and US Affairs, Christopher Pincher, who, while drunk, solicited two men in a public institution. According to media reports, Johnson overpowered Pincher and promoted him.
