On 31 January 2022, Blackford was ordered to withdraw from the House of Commons for the remainder of the sitting day, by Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, under Standing Order 43 (grossly disorderly conduct), after he repeatedly stated that Boris Johnson had misled the House in a debate on Partygate, and refused to qualify his remarks to state that the misleading was “inadvertent”.
