Mr Johnson dramatically resigned as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip on Friday.
Boris Johnson has been accused of being a coward for quitting as an MP before the findings of a cross-party investigation into whether he lied to the Commons has been published.
The committee has been investigating whether Mr Johnson lied to the Commons when he said that Covid rules were followed in Downing Street following reports that lockdown-busting parties were held during the pandemic. Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said it was ‘tosh’ for the former Tory leader to suggest the partygate probe was unfair
“But it is so Boris. He told the committee that if they found against him, he wouldn’t respect the outcome – and so it has proved, there is no great surprise here.”
