Johnson's ethics adviser Lord Geidt resigns after controversy over whether the prime minister broke the ministerial code.

Putting the words Johnson and ethics together in the same sentence caused a lot of problems for the sense checker on my phone - I wonder why?

How many ethics advisors have now resigned?

Nothing to see here.

Ethics advisors resigning as a consequence of not having any trust in the ethics of the Prime Minister and other Ministers so not indicate anything of any consequence.

Not even if it happens twice.

Bottom line - we need to be able to read the resignation letter he wrote to the PM.

Why not publish it? What does the PM have to fear?

I saw that. Part of Boris' response is this:

"You have carried out your duties admirably under very difficult circumstances."

Well, no shit, Boris; although I doubt you realise (or care, if you even do) that they are circumstances entirely of your own making.

As for your surprise; I can understand how, in your mind, you can't imagine anyone not wanting to work for you - but I suspect it's more to do with realising that some of those who do, unlike yourself, understand the difference between right and wrong and accept that morality in public office, is a minimum requirement.

Many of our previous parliamentarians, even the Tories amongst them, had the intelligence and the honour to be constrained by the notion that laws and rules should - at least be seen - to apply to all citizens, equally.

Not you, though. Eh, Boris?

He lives on the isle of Lewis - I doubt it will be every day.

Is he a ‘lefty’ ??"

A former officer in the Britsh Army and Private Secretary to HMQ? A lefty?

Mind you, if he's in moral conflict with the PM, that makes him a normal human being - whatever his politics.

Does that mean that his resignation has no significance?

Will he be claiming money if he does not attend the House? Has he? Do you know?

odd angle. This is either entirely irrleavant to the point ... Or suggesting it's not okay to get paid to work ...

Another one, and those who support this donkey of PM need take a look in the mirror and think of the damage they are doing to this country.

If you or I resign you/I lose our job and all earnings, these people do not lose out financially because they go on getting paid regardless.

So I don’t see it as much of a big deal.

And it’s in the rules that if lords do not attend the house they can’t claim the allowance but if they do something outside they claim the lower amount.

Do you really think they all don’t ?

I don’t think we should have the lords but he didn’t resign from that position so what you are saying is irrelevant
