That would be some fine reading, but let’s be honest Boris doesn’t have the minerals to release that letter, as I bet it destroys him…

It won’t matter. Despite everything he is still, but their own admission, the best the Tories have. They will head down to the Winchester for a pint and wait for it all to blow over.
I mean for his own sake won’t he have kept the letter quite brief and professional? Doubt it’s some scathing “tell-all”.

If Geidt is such a man of principle and honour, why not go public with it himself?
I think we can all take a punt at what this letter says . It’s hardly going to congratulate the PM for being one of the most ethical people hes ever met.
There will be nothing in this letter that sensible people don’t already know- Johnson is a liar, and a cheat, but nobody is prepared to put a stop to it.
Dear Prime Minister,
It is with deep regret that I must tender my resignation as your ethics advisor. The pimary reasons for my decision are that I **redacted** am **redacted** totally unfit for public office and **redacted** am **redacted** a proven liar without the slightest shred of integrity or basic human decency. **redacted**
Yours faithfully,
Lord Geidt
expect one written in crayon and almost signed by cuntson.
What does it matter? What more could Tory voters hear that would tip the scales? The worst government in UK history already by most estimates. Tory voters are all selfish freaks who are morally bankrupt and devoid of principles or incredibly thick.
Edit: or both
Either he won’t do it at all for ‘security reasons’ or he will release it but with it 99% redacted for ‘security purposes’. Besides, if you cannot hazard a rough guess as to why he resigned then you have not been paying attention for the last three years.
If doesnt matter. Tories could kill babies live on TV and boomers would still say “yeah but imagine if labour got in”
Boris probably insists on two letters, with one being amicable and for press release.
>This week, however, I was tasked to offer a view about the Government’s intention to consider measures which risk a deliberate and purposeful breach of the Ministerial Code. This request has placed me in an impossible and odious position. My informal response on Monday was that you and any other Minister should justify openly your position vis-à-vis the Code in such circumstances. However, the idea that a Prime Minister might to any degree be in the business of deliberately breaching his own Code is an affront. A deliberate breach, or even an intention to do so, would be to suspend the provisions of the Code to suit a political end. This would make a mockery not only of respect for the Code but licence the suspension of its provisions in governing the conduct of Her Majesty’s Ministers. I can have no part in this.
ooouchh!!..
Amazed this job even existed. A pointless role even at the best of times. If all those wonderfully educated chaps can’t come up their own ethics based view we’ve got problems. I wonder how much he was on.
Boris is only for Boris. A shame many still get fooled by his rhetorics – it should have been clear after his covid party already.
“I tried to advise him, but it was like beating my head against a brick wall”
can’t the dude release it himself?
‘The government has also said Lord Geidt was, this week, “asked to provide advice on a commercially sensitive matter in the national interest”, but declined to give any details.’
Why do I feel like the NHS is finally getting privatised and he decided to leave, knowing it will cause riots and be an absolute shit show for all involved.
Could the reason not be simply because he wasn’t a team player?
