and nato defence leaders meet to discuss ongoing support for ukraine, including a training timeline for the vital f16 fighterjets kyiv has been pleading for to help with their counteroffensive. but first, for the next half hour, we are going to focus in on a monumental day here in uk politics — the release of the parliamentary report into borisjohnson. the report by the privileges committee found that the former prime minister deliberately and repeatedly misled mps about parties at 10 downing street when coronavirus lockdown measures were in place. the committee says it would have recommended suspending him as an mp for 90 days if he hadn't already stood down from the role after he saw the report last week. it also recommends the former pm should not get a pass which allows ex—mps to access parliament after they leave. mrjohnson has admitted his statements about the parties misled parliament, but denied doing

so intentionally or recklessly, saying, "this is rubbish. this is a lie." we will have some reaction to the report shortly, but first, here's our political editor chris mason. so many chapters of borisjohnson�*s life have his relationship with the truth running straight through them. today, the latest chapter. a committee of his peers throwing the book at him. was he honest about what went on in downing street during the very covid restrictions he'd imposed on the rest of us? all guidance was followed completely during number 10. really? there was no party, and that no covid rules were broken. a senior civil servant, sue gray, investigated. so, too, the police. today, another page turns. the conclusion —

devastating for mrjohnson. let's be blunt, this report concludes that he lied. it says he deliberately misled mps, he deliberately misled the committee. he breached their confidence by saying out loud what was in their report before they did and that he was complicit in a campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee. look at what else the committee had to say. it takes aim at the frequency with which he closed his mind to the truth. and it said some of mrjohnson�*s denials and explanations were so disingenuous that they were deliberate attempts to mislead. is this the end, mrjohnson? we're shouting at borisjohnson because he said no to an interview. he put out a written statement instead claiming the report is rubbish, a lie, deranged, absurd

and complete tripe. have you run out of road? and, he said... you've been there and seen it with your own eyes. harriet harman is the labour mp who chaired this investigation. he claims she was prejudiced against him from the outset given things she had previously said. the report says its members were informed by the facts. jacob rees—mogg was knighted by borisjohnson and served in his cabinet. what did he make of the report? well, i think it's overbaked. i think they want to find the worst at every possible opportunity, and i think it shows a degree of vindictiveness that does not work to the committee's favour or advantage. is this the end for borisjohnson,

no way back from this? there's easily a way back. because the great virtue of our system is that parliament can chuck you out, can chuck you out again and suspend you, but if voters send you back, then back you come. the report today came out at 9am, but the prime minister managed to find himself in front of the cameras earlier than that. wanting to look like he's getting on with the job on an immigration raid in west london. you're talking about a report that i haven't seen and no one else has seen. it wouldn't right to comment on it in advance of it coming out and being published. so he didn't fancy saying very much, but little tongue tie from the opposition parties today. borisjohnson is not only a lawbreaker, but a liar. | he's not fit for public office, and he's disgraced himself. and continues to act - like a pound shop trump in the way in which he tries to discredit anybody- who criticises his actions. he's built his entire career

as a politician on being very shady with the truth, and what the committee has found is that he purposely lied to parliament as prime minister. today, the final page turns on the former prime minister, covid rule—breaking and the truth. the big question is whether the book is now closed for good on boris johnson. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. thanks to chris there. there's a lot of detail in the report. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has been looking at some key bits and is in the newsroom with more. the committee's report has looked in detail at six events to establish whether in their eyes borisjohnson deliberately misled mps when he said rules had been followed at all times. there are pictures inside the published report, this one from the 19th ofjune 2020 in the cabinet room. you can see the prime minister and others at the time there. let's take a look at what the committee had to say about an event slightly earlier

in the downing street garden, the infamous "bring your own booze" drinks in the garden in number 10 in may 2020. the committee highlights concerns from some senior officials about whether it should go ahead, the social nature of the gathering they say should have been obvious because there was trestle tables, alcohol available, people from outside number 10 including carriejohnson, borisjohnson�*s wife, and they say the number of people increased while mrjohnson was there. so they say it can't be considered to have been essential for work purposes in the committee's eyes, and borisjohnson, they suggest, would not have advised the public at the time that that sort of event was essential for work purposes had he been asked. let's talk about then why the committee believes that and other breaches of the rules and borisjohnson�*s assertions about them constitutes contempt of parliament. in other words, getting in the way of parliament doing its job. the committee talks here on page 61, paragraph 201 about his "disingenuousness" in terms of his responses to the inquiry.

the committee says, "his personal knowledge of breaches of the rules and guidance combined with his repeated failures to investigate, seek assurances and a deliberate of his mind," the committee says, "or at least reckless behaviour means that it's highly unlikely that if he given any reflection," they say, "to these matters, he could've believed the assertions that he made to the house at the time when he was making them." that is what the committee has found borisjohnson to have deliberately misled the house of commons. that alone would've got borisjohnson a severe punishment recommendation by the committee, at least ten days' suspension, but they've gone further. and the reason for that is boris johnson's statements and behaviour since he was sent the draft report last week and his resignation as an mp which followed. and in doing that, the committee have gone back to a letter he sent them after giving oral evidence in march of this year, where borisjohnson says,

"i have the utmost respect for the integrity of the committee and its members." they contrast that with his language in the last few days, talking about "kangaroo courts" and "witch hunts", and they said that borisjohnson has used precisely those abusive terms and they have no doubt he was insincere in his attempts to distance himself from the campaign of abuse and intimidation that members of this committee have found. and that, they say, is a further significant contempt. that's what it's that 90—day suspension that they've recommended together with borisjohnson losing his parliamentary pass for good. those punishments will be debated and voted on by mps on monday. now we'll here from conservative mp michael fabricant, a close supporter of borisjohnson�*s over the years. what i am concerned about is that a number of people have criticised others who have impugned the nature of the privileges committee. and what i do want to say was that i was there when borisjohnson gave

evidence to the committee. now that committee stands in a quasijudicial role, like a court ofjustice, and when boris johnson was answering questions, i could see members of the committee — not all of them, some of them behaved with great dignity as jurors would do in a court — but some of them were pulling faces, looking skywards, turning their backs on boris johnson. and, you know, justice doesn't just have to be done, it has to be seen to be done. we have a great panel to discuss it all — justine greening, former conservative cabinet minister, joe twyman, who is the co—founder and director of the public opinion consultancy deltapoll, and claire pearsall, conservative political commentator and former home office special adviser. let me start with you, is this the end of borisjohnson�*s political career? i end of boris johnson's political career? ~ �* , ., ,

have, a majority, a clear majority thought he had lied to parliament. the majority people, again a clear majority, thought these parties had taken place in not accordance with the rules. and so we find ourselves in a situation where simply what many people believed has been confirmed. but that remains a proportion of people, around about 15-20%, proportion of people, around about 15—20%, who believed borisjohnson thatis 15—20%, who believed borisjohnson that is not enough to build any kind of political come back on. worth remembering that even during the 20 19th general election, the pier with many lauded borisjohnson of his performance, his personal ratings were still below that of theresa may during the 2017 general election campaign. so he was less popular than theresa may but was more popular thanjeremy than theresa may but was more popular than jeremy corbyn significantly which gave him a strong position at the time. but whilstjeremy corbyn left the scene,

his popularity once brexit was done and once the immediate aftermath of covid left us, he was in a situation where his personal ratings began to fall and fall fast for some of the time he left office, he was as unpopular as theresa may had been there in the collapse of her brexit dipped and margaret thatcher during the poll tax. dipped and margaret thatcher during the oll tax. , . , dipped and margaret thatcher during the oll tax. , . _ ., ,., dipped and margaret thatcher during the oll tax. , . _ ., h, ., the poll tax. james johnson who i was mentioning _ the poll tax. james johnson who i was mentioning there _ the poll tax. james johnson who i was mentioning there was - the poll tax. james johnson who i was mentioning there was an - the poll tax. james johnson who i i was mentioning there was an adviser to theresa may but let me turn to you, justine, for a moment. were you surprised by the length of the suspension if in fact he were still in office? , . , suspension if in fact he were still in office? , ., .. ., , in office? yes, i was actually. i think it was — in office? yes, i was actually. i think it was clear _ in office? yes, i was actually. i think it was clear from - in office? yes, i was actually. i think it was clear from boris'sl think it was clear from boris's reaction — think it was clear from boris's reaction last friday to resign from parliament, which of course is one of the _ parliament, which of course is one of the reasons why the suspension has been _ of the reasons why the suspension has been made higher because actually— has been made higher because actually that was content and licking — actually that was content and licking the report before it was out, _ licking the report before it was out, but — licking the report before it was out, but i _ licking the report before it was out, but i was surprised because i think— out, but i was surprised because i think david — out, but i was surprised because i think david cameron once described boris _ think david cameron once described boris as— think david cameron once described boris as the greased piglet. he was always— boris as the greased piglet. he was always able to get out of any tricky

contrast there is a proportion of conservative mps, supporters and members who believe that boris johnson is not the messiah, he is a very naughty boy. and that division is hugely problematic for the party because the spectre, even if it's not in a party political sense but in a broad political sense, the spectre of borisjohnson hanging around attempting to preserve the myth of his leadership and legacy could be hugely damaging notjust to rishi sunak but the conservatives at the next general election and potentially for elections to comp. let me turn back to you, messiah, greased piglet, naughty boy and these are some of the terms we've heard so far it only our 50 minutes into the programme. what do you think the conservative party will do when it comes to this boat that the privileges committee of course have recommended? if it privileges committee of course have recommended?— privileges committee of course have recommended? if it was a functioning conservative — recommended? if it was a functioning conservative party _

the privileges committee or boris johnson hanging over things like a bad smell, all of these prevent the conservative government from getting their policies, their ideas and rishi sunak�*s personality across. and with what is at most 18 months until the next general election, they need to make inroads to the labour lead and at the moment, it's very, very difficult to see how they do that. given all these distractions going on. they want to seize the initiative, they want to have the agenda, but it's very difficult to get it top of mind it. claire, the last word, what would you recommend if you are brought in tonight? get you recommend if you are brought in toniaht? , ,. , ., tonight? get some discipline into the -a . tonight? get some discipline into the partv- a _ tonight? get some discipline into the partv- a bit — tonight? get some discipline into the party. a bit of _ tonight? get some discipline into the party. a bit of responsibility i the party. a bit of responsibility collectively _ the party. a bit of responsibility collectively goes _ the party. a bit of responsibility collectively goes a _ the party. a bit of responsibility collectively goes a long - the party. a bit of responsibility collectively goes a long way. i the party. a bit of responsibility. collectively goes a long way. great words there- _ collectively goes a long way. great words there. thanks _ collectively goes a long way. great words there. thanks so _ collectively goes a long way. great words there. thanks so much - collectively goes a long way. great words there. thanks so much to i collectively goes a long way.- words there. thanks so much to all my guests and of course thatjoined us as it is one of the main story talked about today in the uk but there is more also on the bbc website and the apps on boris johnson and the timing of events

that has happened since this morning and more analysis as well. do you stay with us here as we have a lot more to come. hello. for most of us, today has once again brought blue skies and warm sunshine. but there is a bit of a change on the way as we head towards the weekend, and that change is just starting to take shape in the atlantic. this swirl of cloud here, an area of low pressure moving towards our shores. and this little clump of cloud here is going to start to approach the south—west of england as we head through the night, so that could introduce one or two showers, the odd thunderstorm maybe. elsewhere dry with clear skies, one or two mist patches. a little bit chilly, actually, across parts of eastern scotland and north—east england. one or two places in the countryside could drop a little bit lower than those temperatures suggest. into friday, fine start for most, any early mist clearing, but we will see more cloud and the chance for showers or thunderstorms across western parts. so for south—west england,

parts of wales, northern ireland, maybe getting across the irish sea, across the isle of man into north—west england and south—west scotland. but where you see sunshine, again it's going to feel very warm, 27—28 degrees and actually a little bit warmer than it has been of late for some north sea coasts. into the weekend, this area of low pressure, that swirl of cloud i showed you earlier, it starts to approach us from the west. the increasing chance of rain — heavy, thundery downpours in fact — but with some spells of warm sunshine in between. now, on saturday, most of the showers are likely to be out towards the west as that area of low pressure approaches. further east, not as many showers, more dry weather and sunshine, although some low cloud may well linger close to the coasts of norfolk and suffolk. temperature—wise, 22—25 degrees quite easily. it wouldn't surprise me at all if in the sunniest spots, it got a little warmer than that. and then into sunday, there's the chance that showers and thunderstorms may become a little more widespread, particularly down towards

the south of the uk. in fact, we could see some more organised heavy, thundery rain later in the day. temperatures widely up into the low to mid—20 celsius. now, through sunday night, it does look like we could see an area of heavy and thundery rain driving its way northwards across the uk. and then as we head into monday, well, low pressure will be very much in charge of the scene. so that means some showers around, some thunderstorms. stays quite showery certainly through the first half of the week, maybe drier later, and remaining relatively warm.
