Boris Johnson’s downfall has seen him go from a Conservative prime minister who won an 80-seat majority to no longer having a seat in Parliament within a year.
The former MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip was forced to leave Number 10 after a Tory revolt at his antics during lockdown when a number of gatherings were held in Downing Street.
Things got worse for the ex-PM when the Privileges Committee ruled that he had misled Parliament with his Partygate statements, forcing him out of British politics altogether as he stepped down as an MP.
Following the Committee’s findings, he told his supporters that he was “forced out of parliament by a tiny handful of people” despite winning swathes of support in 2019 with his pro-Brexit manifesto.
Mr Johnson said after the report was published: “The Conservative Party has the time to recover its mojo and its ambition and to win the next election. I had looked forward to providing enthusiastic support as a backbench MP.”
