Report on the ‘Partygate’ scandal during COVID pandemic that said ex-PM lied about it receives 354 affirmation votes in the House of Commons.
British lawmakers voted to approve a report that recommended sanctioning former Prime Minister Boris Johnson for deliberately misleading parliament over rule-breaking parties held during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lawmakers in the House of Commons voted by 354 to 7 to endorse the privileges committee’s report, which concluded the former leader should have his parliamentary pass revoked, and had he not already quit, it would have recommended a 90-day suspension from parliament.
Johnson abruptly resigned from parliament 10 days ago after seeing an advance copy of the report, calling the inquiry a “witch hunt”.
