Fact-checking three years of the outgoing prime minister's claims BBCRealityCheck
Boris Johnson has resigned as Conservative leader and will step down as prime minister when a new leader is found.
He said: "If we're lucky enough to be elected, so the first Budget we will go up to the £9,500 threshold and that will, as I say, put £500 into the pockets of everybody." But this assertion - in a Sky News interview in December 2019 - was simply not true. It contradicted the terms of his own deal - as we pointed out at the time.
Mr Johnson made this comment when asked at a news conference on 15 November 2021 whether he had worn a mask throughout his visit to Hexham Hospital a week before.He later apologised, saying he had briefly not been wearing one and had "put it on as soon as I realised I had made that mistake".The prime minister was asked in Parliament in December 2021 whether there had been a lockdown-breaking party in Downing Street on 13 November 2020.
A parliamentary committee is currently investigating whether Mr Johnson deliberately misled MPs about the matter.'Proudly restoring the crown stamp on to the side of pint glasses'
