For almost a year, a committee in parliament has been investigating whether Boris Johnson lied about the government parties that have been nicknamed “partygate”. What did he know and what did he say? Today came the conclusion. The committee would have recommended that Johnson be suspended from Parliament for 90 days, if he had still been an MP. It is a much stricter reaction than expected. The reason is “repeated contempt and to undermine the parliamentary process”, the report states. Now the parliament will vote on what consequences this should have. – Bullshit and lies, reads Boris Johnson’s immediate reaction, according to Sky News. The House of Commons decides the punishment Johnson has continued as an elected member of the House of Commons since he stepped down as Prime Minister in September last year. But before the weekend he quit as a parliamentarian with immediate effect. He had then been sent the inquiry committee’s report, which he described as a witch hunt. Thus, he avoids being punished with suspension from parliament. But the elected representatives can deny him access to the parliament building. Such a punishment was given to the former speaker of the House of Commons, or president of the Storting, John Bercow, when a corresponding parliamentary committee found him guilty of bullying and lying just over a year ago. Boris Johnson has come out hard against the committee investigating him. He believes the investigation does not have a shred of evidence that he has deliberately misled Parliament. He believes the committee is biased and that he is the victim of a witch hunt. Impactful Johnson Yesterday he also attacked one of the members, the party member He is adamant that he spoke in good faith all the way, when he said in parliament that all rules were followed during the gatherings in Downing Street when the country was locked down during the pandemic. Last night, Johnson demanded an explanation from the committee chairman regarding reports that one of the committee members himself broke the rules during the pandemic. According to the conservative website Guido Fawkes, Johnson’s party colleague Bernard Johnson should have attended a gathering in the House of Commons in December 2020 on the occasion of his wife’s birthday. – Shameless and disgusting double standards, says Boris Johnson. Four out of seven committee members are conservative politicians from the same party as Johnson.
