    It looks like Johnson and Patel will have their own judicial review to deal with.

    A union representing senior civil servants has announced it is launching a judicial review seeking to “overturn” Boris Johnson’s ruling that Priti Patel did not breach the ministerial code.

    The intervention comes after the decision by the prime minister last year to disregard the conclusions of an internal investigation into the home secretary’s behaviour written by his independent ethics adviser.

    Sir Alex Allan, who produced the report and later quit after his advice was overruled, found evidence of bullying and that Ms Patel had not always treated civil servants with “consideration and respect”.

    Twice now they've been found to act unlawfully and still they plod on.

    There's zero accountability now.

    A decent insight from a Scottish born Tory on how Scottish Tories see their fellow Scots. It might only be meant as humour but it explains a lot about their self-loathing.

    I think Gove has gone further than his attempted stand up than his thinly veiled banter would have us believe. Amazing what a couple of decades can do.

    Oh my word. The SNP, Scottish Lib Dem, Scottish Labour and the Greens should have this playing on a loop in every party political broadcast until the election.

    The Lib Dem’s and Labour won’t want to upset their partner for BT2. Good chance Gove will lead it.

    Nonsense. Hancock's on TV now shouting at Marr that Hancock's team worked incredibly hard so everything's fine.

    More evidence that they don't really feel they have to account for their behaviour, chose to polarise on the court case only being about the delay in publishing and Marr seems to have let him away with it.

    The Nasty party spokesmen tend to operate on the basis that if they deflect and digress twice they'll generally get onto whatever the next question is without dealing with the earlier one.

    A good deal more than twice. They acted unlawfully two or three times in terms of Public Sector Pensions and compensation schemes.

    There is quite literally no excuse for Hancock not to resign. It's not as if his handling of the pandemic has been such a roaring success that he can use that as mitigation.

    I'm not sure if there is just no honour among politicians now or whether public opinion is so polarised that there is no obligation to resign. Your vote is so locked in that you can get away with almost anything.

    The problem is that the tories are actually untouchable and their supporters revel in the outrage of the opposition. Democracy has taken a backseat to populism.

    I think that's it. It's scary.

    Thinking back through the PMs off my lifetime every single one of them, despicable though some of them were, would have told Hancock to resign or sacked him if he refused. No consequences under Johnson. Firstly because the PM is weak and a coward but more importantly because there doesn't have to be consequences.

    The pitiful response of Starmer just hammers that security the Tories have home. Love them or loathe them both Blair and Corbyn, poles apart ideologically, would have hammered the Tories over this. Starmer isn't a centrist, he's just a ****ing sap.

    Exactly how I see it, they continue to push the boundaries to see exactly how bad a level of conduct they can get away with.

    They're aiming lower and lower, from Patel's blatant bullying and Bozo's handling of it to the myriad of contracts arbitrarily awarded so long as Lord Deighton likes the cut of ones jib.

    There's no real opposition sadly and we still don't know how bad someone has to behave to get sacked or resign. I guess the standards flow from the top.

    Your point about previous PMs is a valid one. Most of them would have been concerned that a fool like Hancock would reflect badly on their government with the electorate, however Johnson has no such concerns.

    More Hancock revelations from The Guardian today. Remember this guy? Mr Cock Inn? ( almost too good to be true), £30 million contract for doing something he had no experience of being investigated by the medical regulator. Zarah Sultana and Laura Pidcock tweeting well that Hancock should resign. WTF is Starmer doing?

    I can't get my head round it at all. Maybe he thinks the polls are going ok for him so he better not say anything controversial. He's becoming a laughing stock now.

    I suspect they have their eyes on the post Covid19 hunting season. We're almost in a warlike scenario where opposition to the government might be perceived as treasonous. Better and less likely to alienate the public if they wait until a time where the government can't blame Labour of obstructing the fight against the virus. They'll be keeping their powder dry.

    The saddest thing about this is the ***** are going to come out of this completely unscathed, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up with bigger winning margin in the next election despite what is very blatant corruption.

    And I think sometimes we forget how much money £30 million actually is, within the context of youth centres closing, social care being dismantled, funded nursery school places cut. These things affect all of us. £30 million can do a lot of good. In what world does it get given to this ****er in the basis of owning a pub the health secretary drinks in? And no one in any power does anything about it? And of course that’s just the one example.
