BORIS JOHNSON’S adviser on ministerial standards resigned today after the premier rejected his finding that Home Secretary Priti Patel had bullied civil servants.

Responding to the shock decision, Labour accused the PM  of behaving as if there was “one rule for Boris Johnson and his friends, another for everyone else.”

The draft report by Sir Alex Allan found that the Home Secretary had broken the ministerial code in her behaviour towards staff, which included instances of “shouting and swearing.”
