Not the best week for Boris
Boris Johnson committed “repeated contempts” of Parliament by deliberately misleading MPs with his partygate denials before being complicit in a campaign of abuse and intimidation, a cross-party investigation has found.
But they said he committed further contempts for undermining the democratic processes of the Commons and being “complicit in the campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee”. “Mr Johnson’s conduct in making this statement is in itself a very serious contempt,” the report said. The committee also found Mr Johnson had been “disingenuous” when giving evidence to them in six “ways which amount to misleading”.
