GOODBYE ELECTION

Could Boris be out by summer?

- MIKEY SMITH

BORIS Johnson could face a by-election by the summer after his tetchy Partygate grilling.

Tory colleagues believe the former PM is "toast" after his three-hour interrogation at the hands of the Commons Privileges Committee on Wednesday.

And a former Government source said the chance of a real comeback" for Mr Johnson is "pretty much nil".

The committee is expected to rule within weeks on whether Mr Johnson "recklessly" or "intentionally" lied to Parliament when he said lockdown rules had been followed in Downing Street.
