Lord Geidt has gone into more detail about why he quit, giving a more robust account of why he resigned as Boris Johnson's ethics adviser
Explaining why he was leaving, Lord Geidt told the prime minister he believed"by a very small margin" that it was possible"to continue credibly as independent adviser" after partygate.
Lord Geidt said that even an intention to breach the ministerial code deliberately"would be to suspend the provisions of the code to suit a political end".
