Boris Johnson Resigns as MP Amid Investigation into Covid-19 Parties

The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, announced on Friday that he is stepping down from his position as a Member of Parliament amid an investigation into his parties during the pandemic, according to the BBC.

According to 'European true', in a lengthy statement, Johnson criticized the investigation by the House of Commons privileges committee, known as Partygate, claiming that it is intended to be used to 'force him out of Parliament.'

'Their aim from the outset has been to blame me, regardless of the facts,' Johnson stated, labeling the investigation against him as a 'witch hunt.'
