Rishi Sunak believes the saga over Boris Johnson’s partygate scandal has ended following a vote within the Commons, Downing Street has stated.

The Prime Minister, who didn't vote on Monday as MPs backed the findings of a report into Mr Johnson’s conduct, “respects” the choice of the House.

Asked whether or not Mr Sunak believes his predecessor did mislead MPs, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman stated: “He respects the decision the House has come to, this follows extensive work by the committee. But beyond that I don’t have anything more to add.”

Asked whether or not the Prime Minister thought the matter was now closed, the spokesman stated: “Yes.”

Mr Sunak had “commitments” he stated he couldn't transfer that meant he prevented having to endorse the report’s suggestions.

He hosted Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson in Downing Street earlier than attending a dinner.

Publicly backing the report would have risked deepening the Tory break up between Johnson loyalists and his administration.

Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride on Tuesday referred to as for an finish to the Conservative civil warfare and urged Cabinet ministers to “row together” and finish the hostilities.

Mr Stride stated he absolutely accepts the committee’s findings and defended it from assaults, saying its members acted with “absolute integrity” and “diligence”.

But he stated that he abstained as a result of the 90-day suspension that might have been really helpful if Mr Johnson had not resigned in anticipation of the findings made him really feel “quite uneasy”.

He added: “My hope is that Boris Johnson, the current Cabinet… that we can all row together now and focus on what people really care about.”

Only seven MPs voted towards the report, with even a few of Mr Johnson’s staunchest allies abstaining.

Mr Johnson might be denied the go to Parliament normally granted to former MPs after the sanction really helpful by the cross-party committee was endorsed by 354 votes.

Mr Stride stated that Mr Johnson is in a “difficult situation”, including: “I think really the caravan has got to move on from Boris Johnson, with respect.”

Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg stated throughout Monday’s debate that the advice to take away Mr Johnson’s parliamentary go was “ridiculous” and the 90-day suspension “vindictive”.

The latter can't be applied as Mr Johnson has left Parliament.

Former prime minister Liz Truss stated the Privileges Committee report was “overly harsh” however one other ex-PM Theresa May was scathing of Mr Johnson and urged MPs to again it as a way to restore belief in Parliament.

She added: “It is important to show the public that there is not one rule for them and another for us.”
