Boris Johnson is to step down as an MP with immediate effect after receiving the Partygate report.
That report by the MP-led Privileges Committee looked into whether he misled Parliament over lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street.
Mr Johnson accused the Commons inquiry of attempting to “drive me out”.
In a statement he said: “They have still not produced a shred of evidence that I knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons.”
In the statement issued after he stepped down, the former prime minister said: “I did not lie, and I believe that in their hearts the committee know it.”
