A long-awaited report into whether Boris Johnson misled Parliament over his partygate denials will be published this morning in a moment likely to ignite a political firestorm. 

The Privileges Committee is due to release its report, which is thought to be 30,000 words long, at approximately 9am after a 14-month investigation. 

It is expected to have concluded that Mr Johnson did mislead MPs, something the former prime minister has vehemently denied. 

Mr Johnson has railed against the committee, accusing it of a “witch hunt” and of behaving like a “kangaroo court”. 

He announced his shock decision to quit as a Tory MP on Friday last week after receiving the committee’s verdict. 

The premier’s resignation from the House of Commons means he will not serve the suspension which is likely to be recommended. Mr Johnson has indicated he will make his “views clear” on the report and its findings once it has been released.
