Standards in Public Life

Proceeding contribution from Angela Rayner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2022. It occurred during Opposition day on Standards in Public Life.

The hon. Lady makes a crucial point that shows why the Opposition tabled the motion today.

The bar has been lowered. Honesty, integrity, accountability, transparency, leadership in the public interest: these are the values that once cloaked the ministerial code, but to this Prime Minister they are just words. Not only that, but they are disposable words that the Prime Minister has now dispensed with, deleting them from his own contribution and airbrushing them from history—and that is just the foreword. More horrors lurk beyond.
