Why has Boris Johnson resigned as an MP? The former PM's decision, explained

The Privileges Committee found Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons, but why did he leave? ⬇️

The Metropolitan Police Service issued 126 fines given out over events on eight dates in total as part of its investigation into the gatherings, including one to Mr Johnson.A supportive Tory minister toldthat his decision to jump before he was forced to face a parliamentary vote on any Privileges Committee sanction, was a “demonstration of his extraordinary leadership, defending democracy and his party, ensuring no vote is required which would cause a split”.

“They know perfectly well that when I spoke in the Commons I was saying what I believed sincerely to be true and what I had been briefed to say, like any other minister.” “But they have wilfully chosen to ignore the truth because from the outset their purpose has not been to discover the truth, or genuinely to understand what was in my mind when I spoke in the Commons.”Boris Johnson was photographed sitting with his wife and staff in the No 10 garden.
