I've been forced out over Partygate report, says Boris Johnson

Odious Toadius, as BJ should be addresses, was the architect of the worst possible outcome for the UK - the exit of the UK from the common market - which has already drilled a huge hole in the bottom of the ship. The UK has embarked on a steady decline to zero

A committee of MPs has determined that while he was PM Johnson knowingly misinformed parliament, and they have recommended a suspension which, if implemented, would almost certainly result in a by-election and the likely loss of Johnson's seat.

However, the committee's recommendation has no force until it is voted through in the House of Commons, where Johnson's party has a working majority of over 60, though the current PM, sometime Johnson antagonist Rishi Sunak, has indicated this would be a free vote.

Therefore this seems like the result of a calculation on Johnson's part that he does not have the parliamentary support required to avoid a damaging by-election and has chosen instead to ostentatiously flounce in an effort to control the narrative.

As for Johnson's Trumpian "kangaroo court" claims and so on, IMO it has long been obvious to any serious observer that evidence already in the public domain left little alternative for the committee other than to conclude he knowingly lied, and recommend the appropriate penalty.
