Watch: Will the PM get a new ethics adviser? This response is spot on

Lord Geidt said he was forced to quit when he was tasked with offering a view on the Government’s “intention to consider measures which risk a deliberate and purposeful breach of the ministerial code”.

Boris Johnson considered action risking a deliberate breach of his own ministerial code, Lord Geidt said as he quit as ethics adviser over the “impossible and odious” position.

The ministerial interests adviser said in his resignation letter to the Prime Minister that he had been only credibly clinging onto the role “by a very small margin” over partygate.

Jason Groves tweeted: “A Whitehall source says the ‘odious’ decision referred to by Lord Geidt refers to proposed protections for the UK steel industry, adding: ‘We’re happy to be judged on that in the Red Wall.'”

In his resignation letter, Lord Geidt expressed fury over partygate.

So will the PM be getting a new ethics adviser after Gedit became the second to leave the post during his tenure as PM?

Grace Blakeley summed it up perfectly saying: “This government having an ethics adviser is bit like a brewery having a sobriety adviser, it’s a little bit pointless.”

The SNP’s Carol Monaghan also asked if there was any point in appointing a new ethics advisor for a Prime Minister with no ethics?

Michael Ellis replied: “The Prime Minister maintains the highest standards in public life.”

There was laughter heard from all sides of the house.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
