It looks like Boris Johnson's political career may finally be over.

A new privileges committee report has found the former Prime Minister misled parliament when questioned about Downing Street lockdown parties.

It found he sewed distrust in parliament and undermined democracy - some of the highest offences for an elected politician.

UK correspondent Vincent McAviney told Kate Hawkesby Johnson could have faced a 90 day suspension if he hadn't stood down.

He says Johnson has gone from being the PM to an ex-MP in less than a year.
