owen paterson was a tory cabinet minister, very long serving mp.und to have broken the lobbying rules more than a dozen times by talking to the government about various issues when he was on the payroll of two companies. the report into him the standards committee did was very, very clear that he had really done the wrong thing. he has always insisted that he was innocent and he was acting in the public interest. but the standards committee, which is in charge of making sure mps don't do naughty things, recommended that he should be suspended for 30 days. parliament was going to have to vote on that but instead of having a vote on that yesterday the tories came up with a plan to overhaul the rules that he had been found guilty of, which would have protected him and torn up the rule book, basically. now, that vote squeaked through last night by 18, which, when you've got a majority of 80, that tells you something's wrong. but there was a furious backlash. lots of tories were outraged. front pages were appalling for the conservatives this morning. it

and in effect ditching owen paterson, too.reated a certain amount of controversy. it is important that standards in this house are done on a cross—party basis. while there is a very strong feeling on both sides of the house that there is a need for an appeals process, there is equally a strong feeling that this should not be based on a single case or applied retrospectively. in other words, changing the rules that mr paterson broke is off for now. but the opposition says it's a wider pattern. corrupt. i mean, there's no other word for it, i'm afraid. and often in a situation like this, you have a prime minister who is trying to lead on public standards. what you've got with this prime minister is a prime minister who is leading his troops through the sewer, and so it is a complete mess of their own making. it's a very strong accusation to say this is corrupt. well, it is corrupt because there was a clear finding after due process. borisjohnson says he's sorry to see mr paterson go, but outrage at how the prime minister tried t

chris bryant has also said mps should still pass the motion to suspend owen paterson for 30 days.ymbolic as he has now resigned as an mp but would be the right thing to do to clearly declare what he did was wrong in his breaching of lobbying rules. also he said his standards committee are going to be considering proposals for any reform to the system and going to put together a report before christmas about any possible changes to the standard system so mps will have a chance to consider those in the new year but i think this debate will carry on into next week with the liberal democrats securing a debate on this tomorrow in the houses of department for mps to debate all these issues that have cropped up over the past couple of days. police in the united states have opened a criminal investigation after eight people died at a music festival in texas on friday. many people were also hurt when the crowd surged forward — on the opening night of astroworld in houston. investigators are also looking into claims that someone in the crowd was injecting other people with drugs. this repor

sirjohn major has launched an attack on borisjohnson�*s government calling its handling of owen paterson'suspension shameful and wrong. on wednesday, the commons voted in favour of changing the system that governs the behaviour of mps, despite a recommendation by the independent standards commissioner to suspend mr paterson for 30 days. if there's one person who knows the damage allegations of sleaze can cause it's sirjohn major. this former conservative prime minister government in the 1990s was brought down in part due to the cash for questions scandal. mps were offered money in exchange for asking parliamentary questions. but sir john claimed that while he set up a committee to look at standards in public life to tackle this, the current government has tried to defend the sort of behaviour over the few days. i defend the sort of behaviour over the few dam-— defend the sort of behaviour over the few deve— the few days. i think the way the government _ the few days. i think the way the government hand _ the few days. i think the way the government hand that _ the few days. i think the way

let's go back to owen paterson _ affairs. let's go back to owen paterson because _ affairs.in a cross—party basis because i think both sides of the house of commons realises a problem with this system and i think the chairman of the standards committee was in the chamber when i was there said improvements could be made but trying to tie the two things that was a mistake by the government and i now understand there will be an emergency debate in there will be an emergency debate in the house of commons on monday and i think the government will make this position clear we will do the two things separately which is really what should happen in the first place. there were a number of tory mps voting against an abseiling on that has weakened the government, somewhat, hasn't it, given the three line whip? this is clearly business of the house and should not been whipped. i'm not going to be told by someone else howl whipped. i'm not going to be told by someone else how i should vote and you can clearly see many of my colleagues ignored that three line whip services poppy one of th

but it feels to me that this is part of a context and a bigger story which began with the ellen patersonthere is a narrative that's negative for the government. now, in terms of media, let me give you an example, yes, it matters that all the news channels were watching what was happening at cbi, and some people were watchin- that, but what really mattered is when that evening a celebrity started to make fun of the prime minister, i think i saw a tweet that said, "i think this is what pollsters talk about when they talk about cut—through", because over 10,000,000 people watched that, so it allows them to set up and pay that little bit more attention, if you like them and that then goes on to the news bulletins as a result of that. so that could be a factor, chris williams from the telegraph, let's also talk about certain papers being a factor, because we talked about the owen paterson story come have a part of that story in its momentum was the daily mail which devoted huge amount of coverage to it. how do you assess the mail's impact on the fact that the government ended up u—turning on

clearly the owen paterson affair was, as an issue, the start of a narrative which has now built up toof who a prime minister is. one of the reasons i asked about the mail is because it's all changed there, and you are going to help me understand this, out has gone the daily mail editor geordie greig, ted verity, who was already editor of the mail on sunday, is now editor of the daily mail and editor of the mail on sunday, and to make things even more intriguing, the former editor of the mail, paul dacre is back as editor in chief of dmg media, which is the group that owns the mail titles — mail online, metro and the i, so chris, it's all going on, what's the story? it's a complex picture that's about business and about politics as well. so three years ago, paul dacre, the 26—year editor of the mail, huge figure on fleet street stands down and geordie greig appointed he is seen as a more softer for gary who makes friends more easily and takes the mail in a slightly to some people less nasty, to some people less sharp direction. now, in the meantime, print media is declining rapidly, an
