Privileges Committee recommends 90 DAY suspension for Johnson

The Privileges Committee would have recommended a 90 DAY suspension for disgraced Boris Johnson if he were still a Member of Parliament.

A report into the former prime minister’s conduct has finally been released.

It found Johnson  committed “repeated contempts” of Parliament with his partygate denials.

The recommended suspension far exceeded the 10-day threshold which, if approved by the wider House of Commons, could have led to a by-election in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency.
