Article thumbnail: EDITORS NOTE IMAGE REDACTED AT SOURCE BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE Handout file photo dated 13/11/20 issued by the House of Commons showing the then prime minister Boris Johnson (right) at a leaving gathering in the vestibule of the Press Office of 10 Downing Street, London, when rules were in force for the prevention of the spread of Covid, which was released in the Committee of Privileges report. The report has found Johnson committed "repeated contempts" of Parliament with his partygate denials that merited a 90-day suspension. The Privileges Committee's recommended suspension for acts, including deliberately misleading MPs, would have paved the way for a by-election for the former prime minister if he had not resigned in anticipation.
