Boris Johnson Announces He Is Standing Down as MP
BORIS Johnson last night threw in the towel as an MP with a howl of rage - insisting "I did not lie". The ex-PM branded the Partygate probe a "kangaroo court" and a "Brexit witch hunt" that was "determined to use the proceedings against me to drive me out of parliament". He also accused his critics of trying to reverse the 2016 referendum — with his political execution “the necessary first step” — and their findings “plainly a political hit-job on someone they oppose.” The shock resignation came hours after he was handed the MPs’ draft findings that accused him of lying to the Commons about lockdown-breaking at No10. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22648594/boris-johnson-resigns-by-election/ The Sun newspaper brings you the latest breaking news videos and explainers from the UK and around the world Become a Sun Subscriber and hit the bell to be the first to know Read The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk Like The Sun on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesun/ Follow The Sun on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheSun Subscribe to The Sun on Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/The_Sun/1633225139
