This Code of Conduct sets out the framework of behaviour expected of those Party representatives (listed under ‘Who is the Code of Conduct for?’ below), who are required as a strict condition of their ongoing representation of the Party, membership of, engagement with and/or (in the case of any organisation which is formally recognised by the Party) recognition by the Party, to adhere to this Code of Conduct in their activities representing the Party.
**What standards are expected of individuals covered by this Code?**
They should:
follow the Seven Principles of Public Life established by Lord Nolan and the Committee on Standards in Public Life:
1/. **Selflessness** – Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.
2/. **Integrity** – Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.
3/. **Objectivity** – Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.
4/. **Accountability** – Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this.
5/. **Openness** – Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing.
6/. **Honesty** – Holders of public office should be truthful.
7/. **Leadership** – Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour.
* actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs;
* lead by example to encourage and foster respect and tolerance;
* treat others in a professional and straightforward manner;
* act with honesty and probity and in a manner which upholds the reputation and values of the Conservative Party. Such duty is fundamental. Conduct which the public may reasonably perceive as undermining a representative’s honesty and probity is likely to diminish trust and confidence placed in them, and the Party, by the public;
* not use their position to bully, abuse, victimise, harass or unlawfully discriminate against others (see further the interpretation annex);
* take reasonable steps to ensure that people who wish to raise concerns about bullying, discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation by others feel able to do so, and know how to follow the complaints procedure set out in this Code;
There won’t be a change in government anytime soon, because of labour etc.
At this point does anyone really believe anything that comes out of his mouth?

He can’t even claim to be accidentally lying, because he’s been corrected about this claim multiple times and [has previously acknowledged it was wrong](https://www.bigissue.com/news/politics/boris-johnson-repeats-false-employment-claim-in-parliament-again-having-already-admitted-its-wrong/).
PM deliberately lying to Parliament again … will the Tories act? No, of course not, they’ll keep obediently braying for Boris.
Just going to leave this here…
