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

Explaining why he was leaving, Lord Geidt told the prime minister he believed"by a very small margin" that it was possible"to continue credibly as independent adviser" after partygate.

Lord Geidt said that even an intention to breach the ministerial code deliberately"would be to suspend the provisions of the code to suit a political end".

God spare us from lords, gutless servants supposedly to their Queen, misguided fools? serving only their political masters.. NOT their country. Honour? they have none as they readily entered the honours system!

Of no interest.

Not known for his Morale ethics then, should have gone quietly.

He couldn’t stand being questioned by theCommittee, and couldn’t be bothered to examine WHO rules on U.K. subsidising the revival of our steel industry!

Bye.

Because he had to justify his massive wage and couldn't take the heat. upperClassPriveledge

Ethics + Morality + De Pfeffel = Nope.

Who cares why he resigned. Good riddance

If he had ethics he wouldn’t have waited but he did and resigned over a nothing whereas he’s been more than happy to Geidtwash far worse

Ethiks, Boris …🤕 contraction
