The Fallout of Boris Johnson's Resignation from Parliament.
TL;DR
Boris Johnson, likened to Donald Trump for his chronic incapacity to be truthful and honest, thirst for showmanship and self-promotion, and wildly irresponsible attitudes to governing, resigned as an MP before being sanctioned by the Privileges Committee for deliberately misleading the House over Partygate. Johnson accused the current prime minister of overseeing a government that is “not properly Conservative” and criticized the Partygate investigation. Johnson's resignation list included honours for his cronies, enablers, and flunkeys, some of whom were key Partygate protagonists, despite blaming them for his downfall.
