'Politics tends to trump ethics' Tory sleaze is back and Boris Johnson and Downing Street ‘chaos' are getting the blame 🔴 janemerrick23, RichardVaughan1 and HugoGye

– who insists he did nothing wrong and will be exonerated by a review into his appointment – helped Mr Johnson secure a loan while he was PM, and that Mr Case acted as a go-between in that arrangement. Both have fuelled the perception of a government and party mired in sleaze – just as it was in the run-up to their historic 1997 defeat.

However, a former Conservative cabinet minister was scathing about what they said was Mr Sunak’s failure to give the Tory chairman a “fair trial” – after policing minister Chris Philp was licensed by No10 to go on TV and radio to say Mr Zahawi had “significant questions” to answer. “If you have got an ethics adviser asked to look at it, then he should wait for the final outcome of the inquiry. What is the point of having an inquiry if you just prejudge the conclusions?”Yet someMPs and Whitehall insiders blame Mr Johnson for creating the conditions for sleaze while he was in Downing Street.

“Rishi Sunak needs to do more to distance himself from the low standards of the Johnson years but he doesn’t appear to be confident that the Conservative Party will accept that.”
