Boris Johnson sensationally quit politics on Friday night after receiving a copy of a devastating independent report that found he had misled Parliament.
In British politics, tradition dictates that there’s no greater crime than lying to one of the world’s oldest parliaments.
Johnson’s career began with him getting fired by The Times newspaper for lying. His political career may have just been extinguished in the same way.
A cross-party inquiry has ruled that he misled Parliament over a series of parties that were held at No. 10 Downing Street while the rest of the country was locked down under coronavirus restrictions.
