Boris Johnson not trusted by his own ethics adviser to tell the truth

31 May 2022

Responding to the news that Lord Geidt has judged there to be a "legitimate question" over whether Boris Johnson broke the Ministerial Code following his Partygate fine, Liberal Democrat Chief Whip Wendy Chamberlain MP said:

"This scathing criticism shows even Boris Johnson's own ethics adviser no longer trusts him to tell the truth. He is not fit to hold public office.

"It's no wonder the Prime Minister has been trying to water down the Ministerial Code and rewrite the rules. The only person he cares about is himself.

"The net really is closing in around Johnson. He's missed the boat to do the decent thing and resign, now Conservative MPs must give him the sack."
