And like Trump, he accuses the people investigating his partying and breaches of conduct of bias and of having a vendetta against him.
Johnson totally undermined the institutions, protocols and centuries old agreements of the operations of Parliament to suit his own agenda.
He lied at school [his teachers said so], he lied in his jobs [his editor said so], he lied his way to the top of the Tory Party [his peers said so] and he lied to the Nation [as Sue Gray has said and the current Parliamentary investigation is likely to say].
He partied while people died and still has no sense of regret, guilt or morality.
As he cheated on his wife when she was struggling with cancer, so he cheated the people of this country and continues to do so.
Good riddance to a shameless fraud and traitor to his country.

Tory grandee Lord Heseltine says Johnson's legacy has "shattered the great vision" of the Conservative Party. Heseltine, a staunch critic of the former PM, says Johnson gives the impression that the Privileges Committee is mostly comprised of Labour MPs, but "the truth is it has majority of Conservative MPs". (The committee has seven members - four Conservatives, two Labour and one SNP.) "This is characteristic of Boris Johnson, he has no sense of integrity," Heseltine told BBC Radio 4's World Tonight programme. But defending Johnson, former Tory minister John Redwood said it's "very worrying that such an important figure in our political life feels hounded out like this”. Redwood added that Johnson has been "uniquely pressurised ever since he first became leader". Johnson backer condemns 'outrageous stitch-up'Let's bring you some reaction from BBC Two's Newsnight programme, which has been gauging reaction to Boris Johnson's resignation. Tory MP Bob Seely says Johnson will always have a place in history for delivering Brexit, but "failed to change" when his opponents were out to get him and gave them the tools to finish him off. Former MEP David Campbell Bannerman, who chairs the Conservative Democratic Organisation, says the Privileges Committee's investigation was an "outrageous... stitch-up right from the start", "a coup" and a "very bad day for democracy". But former Tory cabinet minister David Gauke says the Conservative Party needs to "make it clear this is the end for Boris Johnson" because "he's done enormous damage" to the party's reputation for honesty and competence. .................................................................................................................................................................. ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/6/9/25a7f779-296f-43f4-b995-ae095fd4ff99.jpgIn his huge statement - just over 1,000 words long - Johnson takes aim at the Privileges Committee investigating him over Partygate, saying he is "bewildered and appalled" that he can be forced out Former civil servant Sue Gray was also singled out in his critical statement - she's not responded He has a dig at the government and PM Rishi Sunak, saying the majority he won in 2019 is now "clearly at risk" His departure triggers a by-election in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency - which he won with a majority of just over 7,000 Johnson's loyal parliamentary supporters have been defending his legacy and expressing their shock on Twitter Labour's Angela Rayner claims the public are "sick of the Tory soap opera"; while the Liberal Democrats simply say "good riddance" ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/6/9/7e237d39-caa7-427e-96f8-58e3ac193eb9.pngThe background to Johnson's resignation - in 150 wordsHere's what's happened ahead of Boris Johnson dramatically resigning as an MP this evening. Johnson was accused of misleading Parliament over parties held in Downing Street while the UK was under Covid restrictions during the pandemic. During a hearing in March, he said he had misled Parliament over Partygate - but insisted he'd not done that deliberately. Johnson was in a combative mood for the hearing and said the gatherings were "essential" work events which he believed obeyed the guidelines. The former prime minister was given the findings of the MP-led investigation on Thursday. A "warning letter" from the committee set out the criticisms it intended to make and evidence supporting them. If the committee finds he misled Parliament, it could have recommended his suspension from the House of Commons for 10 days or more, possibly leading to a recall vote and a potential by-election in his west London seat. ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/6/9/70b1ea41-2d68-4ba9-87c6-44592ee365b7.jpg

ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/1440/cpsprodpb/D475/production/_130098345_hero_johnson.jpgBoris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament over Partygate, MPs find..By Joshua Nevett, BBC Politics.Boris Johnson would have faced a 90-day suspension if he was still an MP, after an inquiry found he deliberately misled Parliament over lockdown parties. In a damning report, the Privileges Committee said the former PM had committed repeated offences with his Partygate denials. The suspension would have potentially triggered a by-election to replace him, had Mr Johnson not already stood down last week after seeing the findings. He called their conclusions "deranged". In a blistering statement, he branded the committee a "kangaroo court" and claimed its year-long inquiry had delivered "what is intended to be the final knife-thrust in a protracted political assassination". Mr Johnson - who helped the Conservative Party win a landslide election victory under his leadership only three years ago - is the first former prime minister to have been found to have deliberately misled Parliament. It has been confirmed a by-election to replace him in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency will take place on 20th July. On the same day, voters will also elect a replacement for Johnson ally Nigel Adams, who also stood down as MP for Selby and Ainsty in the wake of the former PM's resignation. ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/240/cpsprodpb/AE9C/production/_130100744_boris_johnson2getty.jpgBoris Johnson owes the nation an apology, say Covid bereaved..By Ben Morris & Michael Sheils McNamee, BBC News.Leshie Chandrapala, who lost her father Ranjith in 2020, said Mr Johnson "should take responsibility". She could not visit her father in hospital due to the restrictions in place at the time. The day before he died, she watched him over Facetime as he lay attached to a ventilator. "Now is the time to be contrite," she said. "He owes the nation and especially the bereaved a huge apology." The report by MPs found ex-prime minister Boris Johnson deliberately misled the Commons over lockdown parties at Downing Street. ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/240/cpsprodpb/127B4/production/_130100757_pic1.jpgRanjith had been closing in on retirement when he caught and died from Covid in April 2020Leshie, 43, from Ealing in west London, said she was angry at Mr Johnson. Her father Ranjith, a 64-year-old bus driver, had been due to retire - but developed Covid symptoms on 24 April. He was in hospital six days later. Three days after that, he died. "It really is our nation's great shame that Boris Johnson was our prime minister. We wouldn't have had these outcomes with a different leader," she said. "My dad was the love of my life. I will always be traumatised by not being able to be there for him." David Garfinkel lost his 76-year-old father Ivor to the virus. Now a spokesman for the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK group, he told the BBC the report's findings came as no surprise. "Johnson has shown no remorse," he said. "It's an utter tragedy that Johnson was in charge when the pandemic struck and he should never be allowed to stand for any form of public office again." He added: "His justification was that he had to be at a leaving event. Why was that so important when people were dying of Covid and burying their loved ones? "He was in a leaving event for 25 minutes. It took less than three minutes for them to switch off the ventilator for my dad when he died." He added: "I think for bereaved families... we all followed the rules. We had to live through the consequences of not being with our loved ones at the end, when they passed away, and we'll have to live with that for the rest of our lives."

Punishingly brutal report is devastating for Boris Johnson..By Chris Mason, Political editor, BBC News.ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/743/cpsprodpb/5379/production/_130096312_johnson_shutterstock.jpgBlimey. This is a report - in breadth and depth - that demolishes Boris Johnson's character and conduct. Let's be blunt: it says he lied. The spine of the biography of Boris Johnson has his relationship with the truth running straight down it. Sacked from The Times for making up a quote, when he was a young reporter. Sacked from the Conservative front bench for lying about an affair. Just 40 weeks ago, Mr Johnson was prime minister, the figurehead of a government with a big majority. Catapulted first to the backbenches and now out of Parliament too, the demolition of Mr Johnson's career by his own peers has been brutally quick. Live: Boris Johnson would be facing 90-day suspension if still an MP Remember, today isn't about parties during Covid. It is about the fundamental pillars upon which public life - and society at large - is constructed. Conduct. Behaviour. Believability. Integrity. The sanctity of truth. The contempt for lies. A committee of MPs, four Conservatives and three others, tasked with delivering their verdict. Those committee members could never have imagined finding themselves at the centre of an inquiry of such gravity. Many are not widely known names. I don't say that to deprecate or belittle them for a second, but to emphasise the power of Parliament. A power Boris Johnson is feeling today like never before. The crux of Mr Johnson's defence is this was cock up, not conspiracy. That however forensic and conscientious this committee, how could it crawl into the mind of Mr Johnson to understand his intent? It tried to do the former and claims to have managed to have done the latter. "The committee now says that I deliberately misled the House, and at the moment I spoke I was consciously concealing from the House my knowledge of illicit events. This is rubbish. It is a lie," he claims. One former cabinet minister I was talking to said - hoped - that "ex MPs become very ex very quickly". They added, from reading the Tory MP WhatsApp groups and public statements in recent days, that Boris Johnson has only a shrivelled rump of parliamentary support. But others will wonder if this report - as punishingly brutal as it is - may motivate a martyrdom, may rally support. "Spiteful, vindictive and overreaching" is the verdict of one Boris Johnson supporter on the Tory backbenches, Brendan Clarke-Smith. One minister said to me: "Boris is the sort of bloke who could fall down a manhole head first and still land on his feet." But this is one heck of a manhole.

Boris Johnson breaks ministerial code with new Daily Mail job..By Brian Wheeler & Chas Geiger, BBC News.i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article30247160.ece/ALTERNATES/n310p/0_Privileges-Committee-To-Publish-Report-Into-Boris-Johnsons-Partygate-Statements-To-Parliament.jpgBoris Johnson has committed a "clear breach" of the ministerial code by not clearing a new role writing a column for the Daily Mail with the parliamentary authorities. The committee that vets ex-ministers' appointments says he informed them only half an hour before the news emerged. The first weekly column by the former prime minister appeared online late on Friday afternoon. The paper was one of Mr Johnson's staunchest supporters when he was PM. Mr Johnson resigned as an MP on Monday, but is still required to seek advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) on new jobs for two years after leaving ministerial office. He stepped down as prime minister last September. In a statement, Acoba said: "The ministerial code states that ministers must ensure that no new appointments are announced, or taken up, before the committee has been able to provide its advice. (p.s - for my favourite Addle Pate, in case he/she missed it as he/she are prone to being Dozy)
