A vote took place yesterday to back a report by the privileges committee’s report, which found that former MP Boris Johnson misled the party and the public during Covid-19 lockdowns. In all, 354 MPs backed the Partygate report, while only seven Tories voted against it — but 225 Conservative MPs did not vote at all.
Johnson was found to have committed five serious offences, including deliberately misleading the Commons when he said that no Covid rules were broken, or that he had been assured none were broken.
