[Boris Johnson has been re-selected
to run as the Conservative candidate in
Uxbridge and South Ruislip for the
next general election.
The former prime minister and current MP will again
contest the northwest London seat,
which he first won in 2015,
in the next election that is due to be held no later
than January 2025.]


[Mr Johnson's future as an MP is by no means safe,
however, as he is facing an inquiry by the
Commons Privileges Committee into whether
he misled parliament over his partygate denials.
]

[If he is found to have misled parliament he
could be suspended from the Commons
for 10 days, which could trigger a recall petition.
If 10% of voters in his Uxbridge constituency
sign a petition he could lose his job as an
MP as a by-election would have to
take place - although he could run in it.
The former PM will appear before
the Privileges Committee to give evidence
next Wednesday just over a fortnight
after a preliminary report said he may
have misled the Commons multiple times.]
