Why Lord Geidt represents another headache for Boris Johnson

H
ow much trouble will Lord Christopher Geidt make for the prime minister? Of course, the fairer way to put the question is to ask how much trouble the prime minister is prepared to make for himself. The evidence on that, looking at the record thus far, is abundant. A watchdog on standards, the role Lord Geidt is now taking on, can only do so much to restrain a wayward premier. Boris Johnson can only really be sacked by his party (or the electorate), and not by any appointed official. However, a compliant sort of establishment old buffer as adviser on ministerial standards, an obedient poodle, is obviously better than some sort of snarling rottweiler. In his evidence to the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, Lord Geidt sought to assure him that, smooth and discreet as he may be, he is not afraid to sink his teeth into the prime minister’s bottom.

Do we now live in a world which values selfies over selflessness?

BACK in 2016 at a campaign rally in Iowa, Donald Trump boasted that support for his presidential campaign would not decline even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street.
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, ok? It’s, like, incredible.”
Trump was highlighting the loyalty of his supporters, many of whom would tell reporters and pollsters that almost nothing could make them change their mind about voting for Trump in the presidential race.
Nobody could accuse Boris Johnson of shooting anyone but over the past weeks accusations have been made against the Prime Minister by a range of people from his own ministers, such as Jonny Mercer who resigned in protest at the Government’s broken promises, through to his former adviser Dominic Cummings blogging about the Prime Minister’s untrustworthiness.

FactCheck: what are the consequences for politicians who lie?

28 Apr 2021
The leaders of six opposition parties in the House of Commons are accusing Boris Johnson of “a consistent failure to be honest” – a charge the Prime Minister denies.
Who gets to decide whether someone in power is guilty of lying? And what penalties are in place for those who are found to have deliberately misled parliament or the public?
Code breaking?
In a joint letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons, the leaders of the Greens, SNP, Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru, SDLP and Alliance parties in Westminster refer to two codes of conduct that UK politicians are supposed to follow: the Nolan principles and the Ministerial Code. Both stress the importance of being truthful.

The Observer view on Boris Johnson's fitness for office | Boris Johnson

On Friday, Dominic Cummings published a blog that set out some extraordinary charges against his former boss. Cummings himself is a man of questionable integrity, as highlighted by the dishonest campaign he ran in favour of Brexit, but he was Johnsonâs most senior adviser during a critical period of national emergency and his claims must be thoroughly investigated. There are two main claims, either of which if true should be sufficient to spell the end of Johnson as prime minister. First, Cummings alleges that Johnson tried to put a stop to a government inquiry that he himself had ordered into who leaked the cabinet decision to impose a second national lockdown last November before an official announcement. This was a highly damaging leak that resulted in a media frenzy and confused public health communications at a time when peopleâs lives depended on receiving clear and reliable information from the government. Cummings claims that Johnson wanted to call off the inquiry because he feared it would expose a close friend of his fiancee as the source.

The culture of public duty in the Civil Service is being degraded

Revelations about civil servants' second jobs confirm the worst suspicions of the electorate
21 April 2021 • 1:00pm
The first of the seven principles of public life is selflessness. In his landmark review of standards in public life, commissioned in response to the 1990s sleaze scandal, Lord Nolan was unequivocal about what that meant. "Holders of public office", he wrote, "should act solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends." It appears this is not the standard to which some civil servants hold themselves to today.

Boris Johnson has been quizzed over whether he acted with "honesty and integrity" in his relationship with US businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri.
The prime minister gave a single word reply: "Yes".
He was challenged about the issue by Huffpost Political Editor Paul Waugh at a Downing St Covid press conference.
The PM has faced renewed questions over his dealings with Ms Arcuri when he was London mayor. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Ms Arcuri received £126,000 of public money in the form of grants for her technology business and event sponsorship. She was also given access to three foreign trade missions led by Mr Johnson.
