Boris Johnson was set to lock horns with senior MPs on Wednesday over whether he intentionally or recklessly misled Parliament over the partygate scandal.
Ahead of the high-octane showdown, the Commons privileges committee published a 110-page dossier at 9am covering areas which they were due to grill the ex-PM in the afternoon. The hearing, which was due to last up to four hours, could determine Mr Johnson’s political future. Ahead of it, he and the committee exchanged heavy blows.
