Boris Johnson Resigns from UK Parliament Amid Controversy.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned from Parliament ahead of an upcoming report on his behavior as PM, which he described as a "kangaroo court." The report is expected to examine whether he lied to fellow lawmakers about social gatherings inside government buildings that had flouted his own COVID-19 social distancing regulations. Johnson and others had previously received criminal fines for their behavior during the pandemic. His departure statement was criticized by the investigative committee, and opposition parties wished him "good riddance." Johnson's personal behavior had become problematic for much of the public, and many in Parliament too, leading to controversies centered around those in Downing Street.
