PM's adviser on ministerial code resigns over his advice on Priti Patel being ignored
Quote:
Boris Johnson has ruled that Priti Patel did not breach the ministerial code following an inquiry into bullying accusations against her.

However, the prime minister's ruling was immediately followed by the resignation of Sir Alex Allan, the government's independent adviser on standards, who authored the report.

He said: "I recognise that it is for the prime minister to make a judgement on whether actions by a minister amount to a breach of the ministerial code.

"But I feel that it is right that I should now resign from my position as the prime minister's independent adviser on the code."

A government source said Sir Alex resigned because the prime minister ignored his advice.
