The UK's House of Commons has endorsed a report that found former Prime Minister Boris Johnson lied to lawmakers about lockdown-flouting parties in his office, with 354 votes to 7. Johnson was found to be in contempt of Parliament by the report, which strips him of his lifetime access to Parliament. Johnson stepped down as prime minister in September 2022 but remained a lawmaker until June 9, when he quit after receiving notice of the Privileges Committee’s findings. The report found that Johnson misled the House on an issue of great importance to the public and failed to correct the record when asked to do so.
