Boris Johnson resigns as an MP with immediate effect, after receiving the report on Partygate. "I didn't lie, and I think in their hearts the committee knows it," he said in a statement.

He also stressed that the committee is determined "to push me out of parliament" "They know perfectly well that when I spoke to the Commons I was saying what I sincerely believed to be true and what I had been instructed to say, like any other minister," Johnson said.
