Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced this Friday that he is leaving his seat as deputy Conservative in the House of Commons with immediate effect.
In a statement sent to the media, the former head of government stated that the parliamentary committee investigating whether he lied about the parties in Downing Street during the pandemic he has “made it clear” in a letter that he was preparing to expel him from the chamber.
“It is very sad to leave the Parliament – at least for now – but above all I am baffled and horrified that I could be ousted, undemocratically, by a committee chaired and led by (Labour) Harriet Harman, with such egregious bias,” he said.
