It would be nice to think this would herald an outbreak of conscience in the Conservative party. But, yeah…

Those working in government justice should keep away from offering this type of support to people convicted of crime, and that would be why Patel’s support be kinda indirect:
>A Home Office source said the Prime Minister has Priti Patel’s “full support” after he was fined over lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street, adding that her support extended to the Chancellor.

Second minister in the HoL to resign, one was minsiter for fraud prevention and now the minister for justice…Hmmm.
The entire Cabinet could quit and I doubt Johnson and Sunak would care, they would just appoint new sycophants to the Cabinet and carry on as if nothing happened.
This is an excellent and scathing resignation letter. A senior lawyer and, justice minister, stating that he feels obligated to resign as a minister for the government because the actions and following cover up by Johnson and government have clearly broken the rule of law.
