TL;DR

A committee of UK lawmakers has accused former Prime Minister Boris Johnson of deliberately misleading parliament over rule-breaking parties at his office during COVID-19 lockdowns. The committee recommended that Johnson should not be entitled to a former member's pass, which enables most former prime ministers and lawmakers to gain automatic access to parliament.

The report further tarnishes Johnson's reputation and piles pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
