Wednesday night, johnsonU.S. lawmakers were flogged for voting in favor of overturning the suspension of a fellow Conservative member of parliament.

Owen Paterson, an influential Conservative backbencher and former cabinet minister, was facing a 30-day suspension after being accused of “serious” violations of lobbying rules.

Patterson sent several emails on behalf of the two companies to government officials that he had been paid a salary of £100,000 ($136,000) as a consultant between them. Patterson claims he was expressing concern about the quality of the milk and pork; Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Catherine Stone disagrees.

On Wednesday, Patterson persuaded Johnson’s government to support an amendment that would nullify his suspension and instead refer the matter to a newly set-up parliamentary committee of lawmakers headed by one of his Conservative aides, John Whittingdale. will send to

The backlash was so severe that the government appeared to be taking a U-turn on Thursday morning, indicating that proposals to end the suspension on Patterson would not go ahead.

A Downing Street spokesman said in a statement: “There must be a strict and robust investigation against for-profit lobbying. There must be a proper process to investigate and – if necessary – discipline those who do not follow the rules.” “

on Thursday afternoon, Patterson announced He will stand as a Member of Parliament, saying: “The last two years have been an indescribable nightmare for me and my family.

“I stand that I am completely innocent of what I have been accused of and that I have acted in the interest of public health and safety at all times.”

Adding to an already bad form, Johnson left the COP26 summit in Glasgow on Wednesday ahead of the vote, flying from Scotland to London, Voted on the amendment to protect Paterson, Then, sources have confirmed to CNN, attended a private dinner at the men’s-only club with former colleagues at the Conservative-leaning Daily Telegraph newspaper. He now faces criticism for leaving the climate talks he is hosting, and on a private plane.
Leader of the opposition Labor Party, Keir Starmer, has called the reversal and attempts to set up a new committee “outright corruption”. Writing in the Guardian newspaper, He says, “The rot starts from the top. We have a prime minister whose name is synonymous with hypocrisy, hypocrisy and hypocrisy.”

Downing Street has yet to respond to Starmer’s criticism.

It is true that Johnson and his government have been accused of indecency on many fronts. For example, there is an ongoing investigation into Johnson’s fine Funded for the renovation of his flat in Downing Street.

Prime Ministers are given £30,000 ($41,000) per year in public funding to renovate their official residence during their tenure, but Johnson reportedly costs £200,000 ($280,000). He has been accused of trying to pay Conservative donors for work, a plan his former adviser Dominic Cummings called “immoral, unwise, (and) possibly illegal”. Johnson has denied any wrongdoing.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the British government has also been accused of handing out lucrative contracts to people with Conservative Party connections. Transparency International UK, a respected campaign group reported that one in five contracts awarded to private companies raised one or more red flags. They set aside the government’s “high priority” or “VIP” lanes that had been shrouded in mystery and effectively ended competition for public funds. The government has repeatedly said that a fair and proper process was carried out.

Johnson is also accused of trying to get the top job at the Conservative-friendly, right-wing former newspaper editor, Paul Duckray, at Ofcom, Britain’s media regulator.

The government has appointed a lobbyist with very close links to the Conservative Party as the senior external interviewer for the job, in what is seen as an attempt to ease the way for Dakre.

Apart from all these problems, Johnson’s personal life has also not been without any scandal in recent years. he has been accused having an affair with someone who was receiving public money while mayor of London, which he denies, and has for some time refused to disclose precisely How many children has she given birth to?

Disappointingly for the opposition Labor Party, these scandals do not necessarily translate into public condemnation of the government. While Starmer is correct in his claim that, for some, Johnson’s name is synonymous with sledge, other voters have accused a certain amount of scandal in this prime minister.

Rob Ford says, “It’s not like it’s news to anyone that Boris Johnson is someone who plays fast and loose with the rules. It’s not an aspect of his personality that he has seen in the public eye over his long career.” I tried to hide.” Professor of Politics at the University of Manchester. He points out that while Johnson’s turnout numbers are falling, “it’s not likely to be related to sledges, and more glow from vaccines. But in the core numbers, he is still far ahead to win the election.”

However, while it isn’t hurting Johnson right now, the sled, Ford notes, has a habit of building up over time.

“Although it may affect him. The sled is more like a corrosive fog than an immediate problem. It can become. The number of voters he won by supporting Brexit were naturally distrustful of politicians in the first place, So there may come a time when all of a sudden he is in severe pain.”
