MPs vote to sanction Boris Johnson as many Tories stay away

MPs have overwhelmingly voted to back a damning report that found Boris Johnson lied to Parliament over partygate, as Rishi Sunak stayed away from proceedings. Just seven MPs voted against the Privileges Committee's findings, in a humiliating turn of events for the former prime minister. With 354 votes in favour, MPs endorsed sanctions against Mr Johnson recommended by the committee, including banning him from having a pass to access Parliament - which is usually available to former MPs.
