Quote:
Geidt says he quit because PM put him in 'odious' position asking him to approve 'deliberate' breach of code
Geidt says the final straw was a request to consider a proposal that he said would be a “deliberate and purposeful” breach of the ministerial code.
He implies that Boris Johnson asked him to approve of this breach.

Talk it's all about steel tariffs and Party donations from steel tycoons. We'll see.

Exactly, why have an ethics advisor or an anti fraud tsar when you have none of one and love encouraging your chums to do the other, there will always be some useful idiot that comes along to defend your behaviour no matter how odious

Yes, how long till someone plays the false equivalence card and says Starmer's expenses are being investigated.

Poor old Boris can't do anything right in the eyes of you lefty remainiacs. When hard-working households are struggling with Putin-generated inflation, he's simply saving tax-payers' money by not replacing the role.
Besides, Boris is perfectly capable of managing his own ethics thank you very much, he doesn't need a highly-paid, unelected civil servant to do it for him.

When you don't have an ethical bone in your body why would you employ someone to look after them?

To take the blame for poor guidance if you get found out for crossing the line.

Except this isn’t about those two things - it’s about a proposed deliberate breach of the Ministerial Code.

Re: Partygate & Beergate discussion
Robert Peston was forced into a grovelling apology after he falsely claimed Boris Johnson's ethics adviser quit over a plan to help firms linked to the Tories

"grovelling - acting obsequiously in order to obtain forgiveness or favour."
Strange - I would have thought you, of all people, would have understood what ‘obsequious’ meant, especially in relation to the Conservative Party…
