Theresa May - 'I have therefore asked for your resignation'
I can't recollect a minister going with that reproof echoiong in his ears

[Jackdaw33]

She did not need to ask for his resignation, she could have fired him on the spot.

[New Judge]

Strange.

Yesterday we had news of the rape trial where a police officer withheld information he had a duty to disclose. Today we have a story where a police officer publishes information he had no right to hold on to, let alone disclose.

Funny old world.

He's gone at last...about time as well.

Prime minister Theresa May said she had carefully considered the findings of an investigation by cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood into statements Green made on 4 and 11 November, which he has now accepted were inaccurate and misleading.

"The letter read ( from May to Green) : “This falls short of the seven principles of public life and is a breach of the ministerial code – a conclusion which has been endorsed by Sir Alex Allan, the independent adviser on ministers’ interests.

“While I can understand the considerable distress caused to you by some of the allegations which have been made in recent weeks, I know that you share my commitment to maintaining the high standards which the public demands of ministers of the crown.

“It is therefore with deep regret, and enduring gratitude for the contribution you have made over many years, that I asked you to resign from the government and have accepted your resignation.”

.
A spokesperson for the minister said: “It remains completely untrue that Mr Green has ever made any sexual advances on Ms Maltby, nor did he ever offer her any role.

which must now be rated as untrue

Perhaps Mother Teresa is "engineering" a space for darling Nigel. :))

Will the last man standing please turn out the lights ...

[mikey4444]

NJ....much opposition was expressed, on AB, and other places, when the retired Officer did come out and say what he knew about Green.

Given tonight's revelations, isn't it rather a good idea that he did, otherwise this liar may not have been flushed out at all ?

[mikey4444]

Togo.......perhaps Mrs May is now running around like a headless chicken ?

How many more Ministers can she lose, before she has nobody left to protect her back ?

I am not sure on what continent Boris is on tonight, but wherever he is, he must be chuckling to himself.

[Jomlett]

According to the Daily Mail’s deputy political editor John Stevens, David Davis will not resign in protest as he had previously threatened.

[sunny-dave]

What are the odds on Mrs May making it to the end of January - or even December?

[douglas9401]

Call me shallow but I love it when they get what they deserve, pompous, pious hypocrites.

[Peter Pedant]

// Will the last man standing please turn out the lights ...//
that is if his wandering and salacious fingers can find the light switch and not ....

[jourdain2]

Pretty good, sunny-dave - the thought of an election is terrifying, Brexit has become (wrongly i.m.o.)and no Conservative wants to take on the poisoned chalice which May is still holding. I'm not in favour of her as P.M., but I can't doubt her courage.

[Peter Pedant]

// David Davis will not resign in protest//

oh god I had forgotten about that

[mikey4444]

Dougie....shallow ?...not at all.....he got exactly what he deserved, albeit about a couple of week too late.

May should have sacked a long time ago. His assertion that he knew nothing about the porn on his computer was risible.

[jourdain2]

^^^ has become hugely contentious

[mikey4444]

jourdain2....courage ?

What ruddy courage ?

She has shown herself to be weak and ineffectual, not able to make the correct decision when the need arises.

I have made this point before, but it needs making again.....one of her predecessors, as the first female Leader of the Tory Party, would have kicked Green out of the Cabinet a long time ago. He was, and remains a liar.
