Boris Johnson urges Privileges Committee to publish its 'nonsense'

Boris Johnson gave evidence to the Privileges Committee in March.

Boris Johnson asked MPs to investigate whether he lied to Parliament party door to immediately publish their nonsense.

The former prime minister's latest outburst came as it emerged the publication of the privileges committees' report had been delayed.

Their findings were expected to be released tomorrow and confirm that they had found Johnson guilty.

But it emerged this afternoon that the report may not see the light of day until Thursday after Johnson – who I left my post as deputy on Friday after seeing an initial copy of the report – sent a letter to the commission Monday evening.

In a statement this evening he said: The Privileges Commission should publish its report and let the world judge its absurdities. They have no excuse for delay.

Their absurdly unfair rules don't even allow for any criticism of their conclusions.

I have made my views clear to the committee in writing – and will do so more widely when it is finally published.

Johnson has previously described the committee as a kangaroo court and accused it of leading a witch hunt.

In a lengthy statement, he said the committee's report was riddled with inaccuracies and smacked of bias, while giving him no formal opportunity to challenge anything it said.

He said the panel of MPs had still not produced any evidence that I had knowingly or recklessly misled the Commons.

But he said he thought their goal all along was to find me guilty, regardless of the facts.

They know that I corrected the file as quickly as possible; and they know that I and all the other senior civil servants and ministers, including the current Prime Minister and then occupant of the same building, Rishi Sunak, believed we were working legally together, he said.

I did not lie and I believe that deep down, the members of the committee know it.

As he is no longer an MP, the committee cannot suspend him from the Commons. They could, however, recommend refusing him the parliamentary pass, usually granted to former deputies.

The story continues

It also emerged that committee members had to be given security after facing abuse from Johnson supporters.
