adviser on ministerial standards actually quit because the prime minister overruled his finding that priti patelust been appointed because the prime minister is under pressure doesn't have the power to even initiate investigations. it's notjust that borisjohnson would be marking his own homework, he'd be deciding he doesn't have any to do at alt — the reason this is so important is we have got to have trust in our democracy and ministerial standards and i'm afraid so far what the government is doing isn't good enough. what the government says is it is important the prime minister is the final person who has the decision on whether ministers stay in office or not. the individual task with this has to report to the prime minister because we, as ministers, only are able to do ourjob because we carry the confidence of the prime minister. when that confidence goes, because lord geidt finds against a minister in terms of breaking the code, then in terms of my role i would have to obviously step away from being a minister because i no longer have the confidence of the prime minister. it is important as

the tributes have been led by the home secretary priti patel who said she was so saddened to hear ofand that is very much the feeling in the local community. i spoke to one man who said that when he was younger, in his teenage years, he did get into a bit of trouble with the police but he said he was always treated fairly by pcso james and so he thanked herfor that. also in the community, people told me they used to go out walking their dogs with her, they desperately want answers as to what has happened here. the police are advising people to remain vigilant. now, in terms of pcso james, she joined the force back in 2007 and at that stage she gave an interview to a local paper in which she said she loved being part of the community, describing herself as a people person. this community very much in shock here today. some good news from india where a 105—year—old man and his 95—year—old wife living in maharashtra state have beaten covid—19 after successful treatment. this is one of the worst affected states with covid. although the picture is very bad right across the country. the co
