Thangam Debbonaire, Shadow Leader of the House, Responding to Cabinet minister Kwasi Kwarteng’s call for the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner to resign:

“Having already ripped up the rules policing MP’s behaviour to protect one of their own, it is appalling that this corrupt government is now trying to bully the standards commissioner out of her job.

“Boris Johnson must immediately distance himself from these latest attempts to poison British politics. And all decent people of all political beliefs must stand against these naked attempts by Tory MPs to avoid scrutiny of their behaviour.”
