'There is a witch hunt under way'....Boris Johnson's resignation statement in full as former PM lashes out
Boris Johnson has lashed out at those investigating 'partygate' in a blistering resignation statement. The former Prime Minister has dramatically quit as a Conservative MP tonight .
“I have been an MP since 2001. I take my responsibilities seriously. I did not lie, and I believe that in their hearts the Committee know it. “It was the same faith in the impartiality of our systems that led me to commission Sue Gray. It is clear that my faith has been misplaced. “When I left office last year the government was only a handful of points behind in the polls. That gap has now massively widened.
“We need to deliver on the 2019 manifesto, which was endorsed by 14 million people. We should remember that more than 17 million voted for Brexit.
