Report: Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over ‘partygate’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:17:00 GMT

By Danica Kirka and Sylvia Hui | Associated PressLONDON — A committee of U.K. lawmakers harshly rebuked former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Thursday, saying he lied to Parliament about lockdown-flouting parties and was complicit in a campaign to intimidate those investigating his conduct during the coronavirus pandemic.The House of Commons Privileges Committee found Johnson’s actions were such a flagrant violation of the rules that they warranted a 90-day suspension from Parliament, where he still served after stepping down as prime minister last year. The committee’s sanction would have been more than enough to trigger a by-election that could have cost Johnson his seat in Parliament, but he avoided that ignominy by resigning last week after the committee gave him advance notice of its findings.The release of the Commons committee’s scathing 77-page report Thursday touched off an angry exchange of recriminations. Johnson repeated his claim that the panel w...

That’s a great thing.”The crowd at the Coliseum Tuesday night for the A’s 2-1 win over the Rays was 27,759. While the turnout and fervor drew positive reviews from many national observers, Manfred is correct on the numbers: That attendance figure would rank 17th among MLB teams so far this season.
