Rishi Sunak had hoped to put an end to the tumultuous political landscape of the past few years since Boris Johnson’s premiership. However, this dream ended quickly. The cross-party privileges committee is set to hand down the harshest criticism of a former UK prime minister in living memory, with Johnson in the spotlight. The former prime minister has laid three by-election landmines beneath Sunak’s administration, which could heavily impact the Conservative Party considering Labour’s 15-point lead in opinion polls. Johnson has resigned as an MP alongside his two political acolytes, Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams, paving the way for the by-elections. Johnson has faced pressure from the privileges committee, which accused him of lying to Parliament about his awareness of parties in Downing Street during COVID-19 lockdowns. The report’s findings are due to be released soon, and Johnson decided to resign before he was pushed out with a severe suspension and recall vote threatening a by-election. Although Johnson is a diminished figure, he still has huge support among party members and could pose a challenge to Sunak’s leadership.
