The Controversial Legacy of Boris Johnson: From Partygate to Policing Cheese and Wine.

TL;DR Summary
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced a parliamentary committee investigating whether he misled fellow MPs about gatherings in Downing Street during the Covid-19 pandemic. Johnson denied lying to the house, but evidence from Downing Street officials and a senior civil servant suggested he must have known about the parties. Any censure could damage Johnson's hopes of staging a comeback to replace current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Meanwhile, Sunak won a crucial vote on a reworked post-Brexit deal on Northern Ireland, despite opposition from some of his MPs.
