Hasn’t he just deleted the paragraph that requires these?

These are in the Annex to the new code. Page 27.
The Seven Principles of Public Life
Selflessness Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.
Integrity Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.
Objectivity Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.
Accountability Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny necessary to ensure this.
Openness Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for doing so.
Honesty Holders of public office should be truthful.
Leadership Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.

But as he's taken responsibilty for checking this is followed, it means nothing

He is an absolute danger to our democracy and it is imperative both he and those around him are removed as soon as possible.

Totally agree, but there appears no mechanism for an early exit other than a revolt within the party, and it's clear they would rather keep their jobs ahead of public interest.

This for me is a classic case of where the Queen should step in.

It is her Government and she should write the terms and conditions under which any Government rule.

We are in an absurd position whereby we have a liar and rogue PM able to write the standards as he sees fit.aka, protects him irrespective of how low he wants to drag us down.

He has a party of MPs behind him who should be meeting and demanding he is removed. If this PM doesn’t understand the covid rules his government imposed on us two years ago. How can he then be trusted to lead the country through this cost of living crisis.

Taking this at face value, let's just say you've come late to a debate where most of what you say has been done to death, and most people who held such views have long since slunk away either in shame because they now know they were hopelessly misled, or just because they don't care about the damage done to this country.

No need to tell us which you are.

Or because they get told to fuck off and called a clown. There’s no debating politics on here. It’s a closed shop so well done to the moderators for ignoring the abuse. But make a light hearted joke about a woman and you’re misogynistic.

 

[Rascal]

I thought it was a wind up when I read on here that he has modified the Ministerial Code, but fuck me, he has.

Surely, there cannot be anyone left who continues to support this disgrace of a person, not one.

If there are amazingly any still clutching on, enjoy it whilst it lasts, as Johnson singled handedly is enduring the Tories are screwed at the next GE.

Personally, I think he will push too far this term with his MO, and the public will start to rebel with sufficient gravitas, that he will be booted out.

For some time our country has been sliding down the gutter, and it is the Tories to thank

A few years back I warned how dangerous this man was, i feared a slide into fascism.

Now its fucking reality.

How do you debate with someone who advocates breaking international law to get out of the mess created by the Brexit withdrawal agreement?

There is nothing to be said to try to convince them that this would be catastrophic in the future.

It doesn’t matter to them as they don’t live in Northern Ireland, so fuck them.

How do you debate that?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Tickles me how people are under the illusion we live in a democracy, total bullshit for a lot of naive fookers.
