Boris Would Have Been Suspended...
for 90 days had he not resigned. tbh, I am not surprised but it is a mucky game in politics and there will be more dirt-throwing, no doubt. The world still spins ;)

//i honestly dom't know what his cringeing followers want.// Ah, if all else fails name call. It seems quite clear from the posts above: An impartial set of Judges with the Chair in particular being impartial. And what is wrong with that?

It's even muckier when it has been disclosed today that Sir Bernard Jenkin MP ,is a member of the committee that came to the decision of suspension and was part of Harman's cabal of witch hunters, has been accused of breaking lock down rules himself. He attended his wife's birthday party with others where plenty of drink was imbibed and the 2 meter separation just went out the window. Dirty politics indeed. Dog eat dog it appears

That was all days ago. The Committee itself gave Boris the advance copy, and Boris resigned in a huff.

-- answer removed --
Didn’t the Privileges Committee show him an copy of their conclusion in advance, as a courtesy. When he realise the suspension was over 10 days and he faced a petition for a by election in his constituency, he then resigned.
He had been hunting for a safer seat anyway. Meanwhile he hatched a plan to boot Dorries into the Lords and get her seat. But Sunak scuppered that by removing her from Boris’ Resignation Honours List.

Boris has issued a 1700 word statement and says…
// "The committee now says that I deliberately misled the House, and at the moment I spoke I was consciously concealing from the House my knowledge of illicit events. “This is rubbish. It is a lie. //
Johnson was at some of the events so of course he must have known his denial to parliament that no breaches of lockdown had taken place, was untrue. Yet he still protests his innocence.

Is it not odd that nothing came out about alleged bias or prejudice prior to the Committee's conclusions being passed to Johnson? He's doing a pale imitation of Trump; attacking the system, attacking the House of Commons, attacking those who were tasked with considering his case. When he 'lost' he started to play the victim game (as Dories is doing).
