Boris Johnson's credibility questioned as UK lawmakers vote on 'Partygate' report.

TL;DR Summary
British lawmakers are expected to support a report that accuses former Prime Minister Boris Johnson of deliberately misleading parliament over rule-breaking parties during COVID-19 lockdowns. The report recommends sanctions against Johnson, including a 90-day suspension as a lawmaker and the loss of automatic access to parliament. Some Conservatives have said they will either abstain or vote against the report, exposing divisions in the party ahead of a national election expected next year. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to skip the debate and vote, but Labour leader Keir Starmer has challenged him to show up and "show leadership."
