Boris Johnson’s second ethics adviser has thrown in the towel – 21 favourite reactions

Lord Christopher Geidt, the government’s Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests, also known as the Ethics Adviser, has stepped down just two weeks after saying he the PM had probably broken the ministerial code.

It continues a pattern of resignations by anyone who’s ever tried to get Johnson to follow parliamentary rules, including anti-corruption tsar Sir John Penrose, and previous Ethics Adviser, Alex Allan – who resigned when his report into bullying by Priti Patel was ignored.
