Boris Johnson and the Partygate hearing - what happens next?
Boris Johnson was pressed repeatedly over how he could not have known that various events - including leaving dos - breached guidance and rules.
Former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has faced a grilling by a panel of MPs over accusations he did not tell the truth to Parliament over Partygate. He was questioned by the Privileges Committee over how he could not have known that various events - including leaving dos - breached guidance and rules. Mr. Johnson swore on a Bible at the start of the session that he would tell the truth - and he insisted he "did not lie" to the House of Commons.
It is a significant moment for a political system, such as the UK's, that largely relies on trust to function. It could also be a big moment for Boris Johnson personally and his political future.
So what might happen now? For 5 Minutes On, the 大象传媒's Political Correspondent, Ione Wells, looks into the various potential permutations.
