The Ministerial code is to be watered down

Of course Not mixing Churchill with Johnson

MayBee70

Johnson has removed the words ‘integrity, objectivity, accountability,transparency, honesty and leading in the public interest’. Surprise surprise. He’s removed everything that he’s incapable of following. Just about sums it up really.

Spot on

Might as well. Because he does !

After recess, Labour are going to try and force a Commons vote on this, via an Opposition Day debate.

Johnson will still get his lemmings to vote against it. That’s why we must all write to our MP’s so when they’re interviewed and say their constituents aren’t bother we know it’s a lie.

Second that Maybee. Or a local tory MP for the lucky ones living in an opposition-held constituency. Doesn't matter if we don't get a reply. Any tory MPs who don't publicly distance themselves from this behaviour are condoning it.

I'm in a Labour constituency, but sadly it's one with a Tory Council. It's not really a lucky situation, as Labour areas are starved of funds by the Tories, and the MP is in opposition, so isn't afraid of losing her seat because of Johnson's behaviour (in fact, she's more likely to hang onto it) but has very little influence on the government at times like this.

Speakers office says the Speaker is impartial so it’s nothing to do with them. Suggests I write to my Tory whip MP. Will be interesting to see what excuse she comes up with this time. We’ve both written to her so I bet we both get exactly the same reply…..

Words just fail me over the whole situation
