Boris Johnson lied to parliament over partygate allegations, according to a report from MPs.
The House of Commons privileges committee recommended a 90-day suspension, but as the former prime minister has already resigned as an MP, the Commons could now vote for his right to enter the parliamentary estate to be revoked.
Mr Johnson has called the findings “a lie” and described the report as a “political assassination”.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky’s political editor Beth Rigby to discuss the report and look at what’s next for the former prime minister.
