I wish I could say this was unbelievable. Unfortunately, I can’t.

I just read this:

Johnson has also rewritten the foreword to the code, removing all references to honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability.

How far can this go?

When you’re losing the match, and all else fails, move the goalposts.

And all I hear from an apparently intelligent friend is “We had the fastest roll out of the vaccine”.

Pippa Crerar reports that the PM has watered down the ministerial code allowing ministers to break the rules without resigning. He has also blocked a bid to give his ethics advisor the power to investigate him. In addition, he also dismissed calls from Lord Geidt who asked for the power to launch an independent investigation of behaviour in the wake of the Downing Street flat row.
Anybody else picked this up?
