Johnson inquiry report on attack by MPs could prompt fresh Tory infighting

Findings on sustained attempt' to undermine privileges committee expected as early as next week

A privileges committee report that could criticise Conservative MPs who attacked an inquiry into Boris Johnson may be released as early as next week, potentially plunging Rishi Sunak into renewed party infighting.

While Johnson allies say the former prime minister is keen to assist in a period of peace and quiet" after Monday's Commons vote, which endorsed the privileges committee's findings that he had lied repeatedly to parliament, the additional report could jeopardise that.
