Search Result for 'Boris Johnson'

Harriet Harman, the chair of the Privileges Committee, warned that misleading the House is a “matter of great importance”.

Baker said Johnson has a choice between being remembered as a "statesman or a pound shop Nigel Farage".

The former prime minister faces a live grilling by the Privileges Committee on Wednesday afternoon.

The ex-PM could face a by-election if he is found to have knowingly misled Parliament.

Mr Johnson accepted he misled MPs, but said his denials were made “in good faith” based on what he “honestly” knew at the time.

“It would be an utter joke", Lord Hayward said.

He described the privileges committee as being nothing more than a "political committee against Boris Johnson who had a mandate".

The former prime minister will appear before the Commons Privileges Committee next week for a hearing that will determine his political future.

"Domestic violence is rarely a one off", Kate Osborne MP reminded the Question Time presenter.
