Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the U.K., resigned from Parliament on Friday after receiving a letter from the Privileges Committee informing him that he will be sanctioned for misleading Parliament about a series of gatherings in government buildings that violated pandemic lockdown rules. Johnson had led the Conservatives to a landslide victory in 2019, but was forced out by his own party in 2020. His resignation from Parliament is a sign that he is taking responsibility for his actions, and marks the end of his tumultuous career in politics.
