Default Boris Johnson's ethics adviser Lord Geidt Resigns

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...geidt-resigns/


Was Live on SkyNewsHD



[Lord Geidt had demanded that PM
explain himself over 'partygate',
saying there were 'legitimate' questions
on if he broke ministerial code ]


Was to be Expected

he has obviously thought about it, realised that he could end up getting the blame and headed for the exit. I would probably do the same in those circumstances

Although by jumping ship it doesn’t excuse or protect him ..

boris obviously doesn't need an ethics advisor, because he doesn't listen to them

To be fair it sounds like a ridiculously pointless job anyway ... and the guy has apparently admitted as much himself

I was gonna sayz it sounds like one of those pointless "being paid to exist" jobs usually found in a more bloated government, full of redundant wastes of money.

[Lord Geidt has gone into more detail about why he quit,
giving a more robust account of why
he resigned as Boris Johnson's ethics adviser.
In a letter to Constitutional Affairs Select
Committee Chair William Wragg, Lord Geidt
said he "could not be party to advising
on potential law breaking".
He admitted his resignation letter
may have been too cautious.
Writing to Mr Wragg, Lord Geidt clarifies
that focus on steel tariffs as a reason
for his departure by others is a "distraction".
"Since my letter of resignation was
made public yesterday, there has been
some confusion about the precise
cause of my decision," he said.]
