He was ousted from his position as PM partly because his cabinet and MPs were sick of being wheeled out to support what turned out later to be lies.
Also because it was clear he'd lost the support of the public and had become an electoral liability.
He ousted himself from his job as MP because he didn't want to face the humiliation of being given a suspension, or other punishment as a serving MP.
