number one, priti patel has always repeatedly denied she did anything wrong.s no precedent for a minister who has been found to have broken the code, the ministerial charter, if you like, that's meant to govern how ministers behave, staying on theirjob if they have actually been found to have transgressed in any way stop but after many, many months of all of this it's clear that this is reaching a crescendo, but it also seems tonight that the prime minister is very determined to try to stand by her. there's been a not very su btle to stand by her. there's been a not very subtle attempt by tory mps all over social media tonight, posting so over social media tonight, posting so much about how they think she's the right person for the job, praising her to the skies. but we will know more tomorrow when we actually see the statements that emerge, after many months of being a problem for the government he will try to draw a line under it but i expect the prime minister still to try to hang on to her, there may be questions how he can do so. laura, thank you. researc

priti patel shouted and swore at staff.r hasjudged she didn't break ministerial rules. i asked her what she thought about the criticism in the report. are you a bully? i am here to give an unreserved apology today, and i'm sorry if i have upset people in any way whatsoever. it was completely unintentional. i will be very candid, the work that i do here, in this department and across government, is deeply challenging so, if i have upset people, that has been completely unintentionalfor top was not my intention. it all started nine months ago, when sir philip rutnam, the most senior civil servant at the home office, walked out, complaining about miss patel‘s actions, but his former department has been criticised for being inflexible and unsupportive. the prime minister ordered an enquiry and today sir alex allan concluded that the home secretary had not consistently met high standards required by the ministerial code. her approach on occasions had amounted to behaviour that could be described as bullying and, to that extent,

priti patel wasn't sacked and instead sir alex resigned.'s attracted criticism. the system depends on the prime minister standing up for standards in public life and for taking action when his or her ministers breach those standards. for the first time as far as i can rememberwe have a prime minister who doesn't seem willing to stand up for high standards public life after having the report on his desk here for some time, in the end boris johnson rejected its findings. a source has told the bbc that in the summer there were discussions between the prime minister and sir alex allan about the challenges the report posed. another whitehall source said sir alex had resisted pressure to make it more palatable. downing street said the prime minister spoke to sir alex allan to further his understanding of the report but that sir alex's conclusions were entirely his own. there has been an investigation and the prime minister has made his judgment. he is the arbiter of the ministerial code and he has determined, having reviewed the evidence, that th

the findings of sir alex allan's report into priti patel were stark.e government's most senior ministers had shouted and sworn at staff, and some of her behaviour had amounted to bullying. yesterday she apologised. well, i'm here to give an unreserved apology today, and i am sorry if i have upset people in any way whatsoever. that was completely unintentional. but she stays in herjob, and that's put the focus back on her boss. borisjohnson‘s decision to back her and override sir alex's judgment on the ministerial code is drawing more criticism. the system depends on the prime minister standing up for standards in public life, and for taking action when his or her ministers breach those standards, and for the first time, as far as i can remember, we have a prime minister who doesn't seem willing to stand up for high standards in public life. and there are claims that the prime minister had asked for the report to be toned down. a source has told the bbc that back in the summer there were discussions between sir alex and borisjohnson about the challenges

the wording in the report gave borisjohnson the opening to keep priti patel in a post. i also don't think this particular situation is going away because even if this one has been kicked into the long grass, the tory faithful have been ordered to go out and back for priti patel, which they have all been doing on twitter all day with these identical messages. at the same time, we have other rumblings coming our way same time, we have other rumblings coming ourway in same time, we have other rumblings coming our way in the future such as the former permanent secretary who resigned very publicly and is now going to undergo a full tribunal situation and is clear from the public nature of his resignation that he is not going to go quietly so that he is not going to go quietly so they may have dodged rubbings on this occasion but i would expect much more of it down the line facing. what does this mean in terms of the ministerial code? what does the minister have to do to break the ministerial code? this is the problem. johnson put his name to this code, he put on the forward

he acknowledges that priti patel justifiably in beyond that. is was manifested in forceful expression from her, including on some occasions shouting and swearing. he says this may not be done intentionally to cause upset, but that has been the effect on some individuals. he then talks about the definition, if you like, of bullying, saying it is intimidating or insulting behaviour that makes an individual feel uncomfortable, frightened, less respected or put down. instances of the behaviour reported to the cabinet office would meet such a definition. he said the home office, and the other side of the argument, was not as flexible as it could have been, and actually they should have done more to support priti patel. they did not give any feedback so she was not aware of how she was making people feel. but the crucial thing is that sir alex allan has advised that the home secretary did not consistently meet the high standards required by the ministerial code of treating her civil servants with consideration and respect. her approach, civil servants
