'One rule for them and one for the rest of us', says Angela Rayner in Boris Johnson clash
Telegraph, 03 Nov 2021
Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner accused Boris Johnson of "scrapping the independent process" which found Owen Paterson to have misused his position.
It comes as Downing Street has urged all MPs to support an overhaul of the standards process, insisting a critical vote this afternoon in the row over Owen Paterson was not "about one case".
Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker, has selected Andrea Leadsom's amendment, which would save the former minister from a six-week suspension while a new system is set up and an appeal undertaken. The debate will take place this afternoon, although a vote is not expected until 4pm at the earliest.
