UK parliament backs report saying Boris Johnson misled over Partygate

The British parliament on Monday endorsed a report that concluded that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson deliberately lied over rule-breaking parties.

Lawmakers in the House of Commons voted 354 to 7 to endorse the Privileges Committee's report. Johnson abruptly resigned from the parliament earlier this month after seeing an advance copy of the findings of a yearlong investigation into his conduct during the COVID-19 pandemic when lockdown-breaking parties were held at Downing Street.
