MPs have voted in favor of a Parliamentary report that found former Prime Minister Boris Johnson guilty of “repeated contempts” of Parliament. The report, published by the Privileges Committee, concluded that Johnson deliberately misled Parliament regarding illegal parties held in Downing Street during COVID-19 lockdowns. It also found him guilty of attempting to undermine the democratic process and being complicit in a campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee. The committee recommended a 90-day suspension and a ban from accessing Parliament, but as Johnson had already resigned, these sanctions were not imposed. Johnson dismissed the report as a “deranged conclusion” and accused the committee of lying. The report was supported by 354 MPs, while only seven voted against it. Conservative MPs were given a free vote on the report, with 118 backing it and the majority abstaining, including current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Former Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May urged her party to support the conclusions of the Privileges Committee as a way to restore people’s trust in Parliament. However, some Conservative MPs defended Johnson, arguing that he is human and almost died during the pandemic. Sunak’s absence from the vote was criticized by opposition MPs, who accused him of lacking leadership. Downing Street stated that the prime minister respects the decision made by MPs and believes it is a matter for Parliament, not the government.
