Douglas Ross was quizzed on Boris Johnson s potential ministerial code breach by Andrew Marr DOUGLAS Ross has said that Boris Johnson should of course resign if he is found to have broken the ministerial code. As probes are under way into whether the Prime Minister properly declared donations for lavish refurbishments to his Downing Street flat, the Scottish Tory leader was quizzed on his stance. He was asked on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show if Johnson should quit if found to be in breach of the ministerial code, with Ross having previously called for the resignation of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon if she had broken the rules.
The Foreign Secretary has said that cutting the aid budget has been “very difficult” but insisted it was necessary in the face of mounting criticism.
Dominic Raab told Sky’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday the need to reduce the budget and find savings was because of the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the economy.
He added: “We’ve had to make this extremely difficult decision to reduce and find savings in the aid budget, that’s because of the impact Covid has had, the biggest contraction we’ve seen in the economy for 300 years, a budget deficit double what we saw in the peak of the financial crisis in 2008-2009.
