Boris Johnson committed "repeated" and "serious" contempts of Parliament by deliberately misleading MPs with his denials over the partygate scandal, a damning report has found.
The 30,000-word report published by MPs on the House of Commons privileges committee found the former prime minister’s behaviour warranted a 90-day suspension from Parliament – one he now avoids after his dramatic resignation on Friday.
Responding to its publication on Thursday, Mr Johnson hit out at what he called a "deranged conclusion", while Labour’s Deputy Leader Angela Rayner called him a "pound shop Trump" for the way he "tries to discredit anybody who criticises his actions".
