Defiant Boris Johnson endures UK parliament grilling over 'Partygate'

Firstpost  

London: Former prime minister Boris Johnson Wednesday denied he lied to Britain’s parliament over the “Partygate” scandal as MPs held an inquisition that could decide his political fate. Privileges committee chairwoman Harriet Harman said the hearing went to the “heart of our democracy”, because if MPs are wilfully misled by ministers, “we can’t do our job”. Rejecting the contention of Johnson loyalists that the hearing amounts to a “kangaroo court”, Harman said the MPs were acting only “in the interests of the House” and not from any partisan motivation. Johnson’s diminishing hold over the party was underlined even during the hearing, as the MPs paused to join a Commons vote on a post-Brexit deal agreed by Sunak with the European Union concerning Northern Ireland.
