Britain's Boris Johnson should be excluded from parliament for willfully misleading lawmakers over rule-breaking COVID lockdown parties at his office, a committee said in a damning report the former leader described as ‘rubbish’
LONDON, June 15 - Britain's Boris Johnson should be excluded from parliament for wilfully misleading lawmakers over rule-breaking COVID lockdown parties at his office, a committee said on Thursday in a damning report the former leader described as "rubbish".
Johnson, one of Britain's most well-known and divisive politicians, shot back, repeating his innocence and condemning the report as "rubbish", "a lie" and "a charade", and accusing committee members of waging a vendetta against him. The Committee found that Johnson sought to undermine the parliamentary process by deliberately misleading the House of Commons and the Committee, by breaching confidence, impugning the Committee and by being complicit in a campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation.
