Boris accused of rewriting rules to get off the hook!

 

Sleazy Boris Johnson has been accused of rewriting the rule book on Parliamentary standards to 'save his own skin'. Critics says he's rewritten the forward to the ministerial code to remove all references to honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability.

Labour's Deputy Leader, Angela Rayner, said: "This prime minister is downgrading and debasing the principles of public life before our very eyes." Wendy Chamberlain, the Lib Dem chief whip, said it was an "appalling attempt by Boris Johnson to rig the rules to get himself off the hook."

The Government say that the rules have been changed to "avoid incentives for trivial or vexatious complaints, which may be made for partisan reasons."
