Boris Johnson 'deliberately' misled MPs over partygate, report finds, and should be banned from parliament
In its highly anticipated investigation, the committee also recommended the former PM serve a 90-day suspension from parliament.
A parliamentary inquiry has concluded that Boris Johnson knowingly misled parliament multiple times with his statements about parties in Downing Street during the COVID pandemic.
Well apparently that's okay.

I'm afraid that these days, the expected notion of most politicians, is that they're self-serving liars who jump on any 'popular' (for that read 'lobbied with money for') bandwagon.
Thick politicians will do anything to further their cause as they have to be seen to be busy and active, but at other citizens' expense.
I forecast a total watershed of the last vestiges of concern and probity when Starmer's lot get in next year, but I really won't care much any more!
I wonder how the "Rt Hon" Tony Blair's statements on the Dodgy Dossier would have fared under this kind of "impartial" scrutiny.
Scrobs - self-serving motives seem to be out in the open now, there's not much concealment about.
decnine - good point, maybe the dossier would have been described as "sexed down".
You could make an assertion that not only was the parliamentary inquiry a 'kangaroo court' to Get Boris it was merely the way that politics 'works'.
See also the investigations over COVID, fracking, Grenfell Tower... and so on. If anything worthwhile comes out of these inquiries and reports it is purely a by product during clearing some of the elite of blame and sticking it to the others.
DJ - I'm sure you are right, it's just how politics works, although it does show signs of the entire government machine becoming even more blatantly political.
