The Conservatives are basically sex traffickers and it's not even clear they're the most immoral party in parliament.

Jesus.

Also, does he look a bit like Anthony Hopkins in the 90s or is that just me?

He's an independent and not in parliament. The Tories still win.

No, that is what he's saying.

Oh. Yeah. I just read the first line assuming the rest to be drivel.

I'm struggling to use the code on my phone, so forgive me

But, from what I can gather, Boris is essentially trying to preemptively adjust the rules so if he is likely found to have broken the Ministerial code, then he doesn't have to resign.

This is like something some tinpot dictator does, it honestly beggars belief how the so called party of law and order could allow this to happen.

Looks more like Jordan Belfort as an OAP.

You're taking it out of context, he's differentiating himself from other Tory MPs.

Not taking it out of context when im posting a photo of the actual leaflet. Its a weird ass opening sentence to say "Ive never sexually assaulted anyone" which is why i posted it.

[Yusufzai Swat]

Not taking it out of context when im posting a photo of the actual leaflet.

Outside of the context of other Tory MPs being convicted, meaning he's saying they're not all like that.

Also he is not a tory mp. He is the candidate for the Christian Peoples Alliance party.

How is it out of that context when the leaflet mentions that?

[Heloin]

The entire history of Northern Ireland can be summarised by “some idiots starting shit” so what could be a better marker of celebration?

Boris Johnson changes ministerial code so those who breach it don't have to quit or face sack

===

What are the changes?

Ministers will now no longer automatically be expected to resign or face the sack if they are found to have breached the code.

A Cabinet Office statement said it would be "disproportionate" for ministers to lose their job for "minor breaches".

The prime minister could instead order "some form of public apology, remedial action or removal of ministerial salary for a period".

Another major change is the independent adviser will now be able to initiate an investigation into potential breaches of the code.

Previously only the PM could do this, but the code now adds that the final decision will still rest with the prime minister.

The independent adviser will be supported by a dedicated set of civil servants, have its own gov.uk webpage, and be responsible for managing its own affairs and correspondent, a policy statement said.

In a statement announcing the changes, the Cabinet Office said: "The government has been mindful of the need to avoid incentives for trivial or vexatious complaints which may be made for partisan reasons.

"Such complaints can undermine public confidence in standards in public life rather than strengthen it."
