[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1060108, member: 72977"] Problem is you see it as an isolated incident and if it was only this Johnson's political history then maybe. However, it is part of a continuing trend where the government is trying to remove all transparency. Johnson has already been warned about his own conduct in terms of parliamentary standards. His government has also planned to strip the electoral watchdog of powers to prosecute, which coincidently was announced within a month of Johnson being investigated over his flat refurbishment. The continually engage in gas-lighting when proven wrong. They spend more time investigating who took a video of a minister breaking covid rules than they did on that minister's behaviour, let alone bother to look into his use of private emails for government business which included spending £11 million on a failed test and trace app which involved close acquaintances of those in government. Further the fact that government was found to be unlawful in not publishing data on how contracts were handed out and yet still refused to do it. They have also been found to be unlawful now on multiple occasions in various areas of their government none of which have led to any kind of resignation or disciplinary action. The supressing of reports, including Russian interference report, which was promised by Johnson after the election and then never appeared. Attempts to circumvent parliament during the Brexit negotiations. Take this holiday. If it was such a non-story why didn't they confirm it straight away. Why did they even spend time trying to hide it or not bring attention to it. They could have just confirmed it and moved on. Now while I'm sure individually you don't think all of them are big deals, when you add them together they clearly show a government that doesn't want to be scrutinised or held accountable in anyway.
