The Privileges Committee is expected to publish its report into whether Boris Johnson lied to parliament over partygate this morning.
The privileges committee examined whether the former prime minister knowingly misled parliament over Covid-19 rule-breaking parties held on government property, in what become known as the Partygate affair.
The report from the privileges committee is said to be 30,000 words long and has taken over a year to finally publish it.
Mr Johnson launched a ‘last ditch attempt’ to smear the long-awaited report by attempting to discredit one of the committee members.
On Wednesday night, Mr Johnson called for senior Tory MP Sir Bernard Jenkin to ‘explain his actions’ and resign from the privileges committee, claiming that he breached the lockdown rules himself in December 2020.
