Political Shake-Up: Boris Johnson and Nadine Dorries Step Down as UK Lawmakers.
TL;DR
Boris Johnson has resigned as an MP after the Partygate report by the Privileges Committee looked into whether he misled Parliament over lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street. Mr Johnson accused the Commons inquiry of attempting to "drive me out". He denied knowingly or recklessly misleading the Commons and condemned the committee as a "kangaroo court" with "egregious bias".
