Ultimately, everyone will be able to let him ‘take full responsibility’ at the next GE.

Does that mean you just ignore crooked behaviour when it's done in plain sight?

It's completely improper.

As the Leader of the Opposition noted on Wednesday, the lack of written constitution and rules we have in this country, compel those in government to behave responsibly, with honour, and within the spirit of what written regulations would say. The current administration continuously ignore this.

Aye. But isn't it a shame that the LoTO is precious little better than the PM in that regard? Good job he doesn't live in a greenhouse.

A pox on all their houses! Calling all honest men and women (other genders are available) , your country needs you.

How did that go in the USA?
Wrong type of written constitution may be...

Another letter.

Having a written constitution is one thing, establishing a written constitution is quite another.

I mean we'd all agree with the wording straight off, right?

50% on this forum seem quite ok with it, and seem more concerned with it being called out as improper. Funny old world. I personally would hope to see some accountability in our institutions but sadly that's not the boris way.

By the time of the next election a large part of the population will have forgotten about it all and be more concerned about voting for a party that is promising them the earth and making sure they have jam tomorrow or getting Brexit Done or somesuch

Agreed. How this shameful situation can be changed within the current rules of engagement, is without doubt a tricky conundrum, and short of a revolution, I don't see the system being changed, as the incumbents on either side are quite happy to play the game of swapping sides as and when the fickle electorate decides they've had enough.

He thinks we are all mugs and will forget it all.

Sorry and humbled my arse.

Boris Johnson removes instruction to ministers to 'uphold the very highest standards of propriety' in new Ministerial Code foreword

Pretty stupid in the circumstances, no matter how vague the original wording.

[bitchstewie]

Another letter gone in.

[bmwmike]

They all knew the rules were being broken. That there are so few letters shows how low the moral bar really is in the conservative party, and probably others. fkers.

How many's that?

Not enough

[Prolex-UK]

Poll of 17k people suggests that only 3 of 88 red wall seats tories got at last election would remain tory

That may flush a few more letters out

Next two by elections as well

Sacked from his job as a journalist for lying.
Sacked from his job as a cabinet minister for lying.
Still got voted party leader.

It's clear that the Tories don't care about honesty or accountability.

[bitchstewie]

Bob Neill in the Telegraph.

If the Tories are to win the next election, Boris has to go

The polls seem to agree.

Johnson is a symptom of the current state of the party. Those hoping for Tugendhat or Ben Wallace to come in and swap the loons aside are pissing in the wind

The whole state of UK politics in my opinion. There isn't a single MP you can honestly point at and say that person should be PM.

Picking out Priti Patel will result in you being labelled a racist
