Boris Johnson's adviser on the ministerial code has resigned after the PM backed Home Secretary Priti Patel over a bullying inquiry.

The government's standards adviser Sir Alex Allan found that Ms Patel's behaviour had breached the code.

But Mr Johnson rejected Sir Alex's findings and said he had "full confidence" in Ms Patel.





What can you say?

It's an open secret... FRAUD!The world knows that and the "great democracy" in the world prefer to close their eyes on fraud hoping to go away..No way now to reverse the corrupt results because that will be double embarrassment for America.

A lot of holders are afraid to take profits at the moment, very unusual think for Lloyds share... they all are afraid for more good news coming out and miss the boat.Let's hope we will not hear any more good news before new year and push the share above 40p to 42p.I am hoping to be one more time lucky to up around 30s.

Today: Covid halts Brexit talks; Commission risks angering member states as they consider provisional application of a 95% complete deal; and Poland adds to Brussels budget crisis after accusing EU of "high-handed autocracy."Covid halts Brexit talks: Brexit negotiations were halted ahead of a looming 'deadline' for the UK-EU trade deal on Thursday after a member of Michel Barnier's team tested positive for coronavirus. With an extremely tight schedule and a lot of work still left to be done, the negotiators will halt face-to-face talks as Barnier quarantines for up to 10 days. "One of the negotiators on my team has tested positive for Covid-19. With David Frost, we have decided to suspend the negotiations at our level for a short period," Barnier wrote on Twitter.Frost said that he was in 'close' contact with Barnier but that "the health of our teams come first". Negotiating teams will continue to hold discussions remotely a government spokesperson has confirmed. "The UK and EU teams have agreed to continue to negotiate remotely for the time being, The talks will resume in person when it is judged safe to do so. The health and welfare of our staff are our priority."Isolated Barnier: Back in March, Covid forced both sides to undertake negotiations remotely when Barnier tested positive for the virus. However, it it was decided to resume face-to-face talks as online talks were seen as making it even harder to reach difficult compromises. This Covid-scare has come at the worst possible time for Barnier as he's put under pressure to get a deal in time for a lengthy EU ratification process and to release emergency no-deal plans from some EU capitals.Not only is Barnier in Covid isolation but he's growing ever more politically isolated amongst EU leaders. His team are understood to be resisting the push to publish the plans over concerns that they could destabilise the delicately poised negotiations.Officials are also considering a Provisional Application of any agreement because of the time pressure that is now exacerbated by the Covid news. That would mean the agreement would come into effect on January 1st, but ratification would happen some time in the New Year. Member states say they want a proper debate on whether the deal is considered 'mixed' or 'EU only' with the former requiring national parliamentary ratification. If the EU do consider it an 'EU only' deal, this will surely rock the boat with member states even more, particularly France, Spain and the Netherlands.EU is just like the Commies, says Poland: Poland is also kicking up a fuss after blocking the EU's 1.8 trillion euro budget over a 'rule of law' clause. The Polish PM has thrown more fuel on an already raging fire, by comparing the European Union to the former communist dictatorship just hours before a leaders summit.Mateusz Morawiecki told Polish MPs that the EU was run by a "eurocrat" oligarchy in the interest of nations such as Germany and France. He said that allowing Brussels to push through the clauses would allow for "arbitrary decisions" and undermine the EU. "Breaking the law has become a propaganda bludgeon in the EU," Mr Morawiecki said, likening the bloc's authoritarian approach to Poland's decades under communist control. Yikes. Talks still very much stuck on key issues: An EU official has told ambassadors in Brussels that they are still at odds with Britain over fishing rights, level-playing field and governance despite being close to an agreement. "We are both close and far away. It seems that we are very close to agreement on most issues but differences on the three contentious issues persist," a senior EU diplomat said after ambassadors were briefed on Friday by an EU negotiator in Barnier's absence."They still need their time. Some things on the level playing field have moved, albeit very very slowly. Fisheries are not really moving anywhere right now," another official said. Both of these issues are "still very stuck" according to an official close to the negotiations, and without any movement on fisheries from the EU and a state aid regime that respects Britain's sovereignty, talks are going nowhere fast....but 95% complete: In the meeting, Member states have been told by the Commission that 95% of the EU-UK future relationship treaty has been completed but that wide gaps on the key issues remain. Although 95% complete, there are square brackets in key areas of the text, meaning bits that remain open and that are linked to an overall deal. These are in the field of energy, road haulage, aviation and rules of origin, according to a Twitter thread by Tony Connelly. Member States again pushed strongly for emergency no-deal plans to be published in this meeting.On fisheries, the Commission is considering a review clause which would kick in after 5 to 10 years. The aspiration would be that the review clause would not just be for the quota/access arrangement but for the whole FTA deal in order to maintain EU leverage on the issue, although this hasn't been formally tabled in negotiations yet.UK cements global standing with defence spending: The UK government announced its biggest increase in defence spending since the Cold War as it looks to cement itself as a global power post-Brexit. The UK has long been the US's main military ally in Europe and with the announcement of an extra £24.1 billion over the next four years, the UK will rank as the second highest spender on defence in NATO, beaten only by the US. Keep the faith, says Bernard: Sir Bernard Jenkin MP has penned an article for the Telegraph where he puts to bed the rumours that Cummings and Cain were the real guarantors of Brexit. He argues that the Prime Minister, who has been described as the most vocal pro-Brexit voice, supported by his Commons majority is what guarantees the manifesto pledge. He says that Boris knows his authority rests on the 2016 Leave vote and that this, and the 2019 election, was won on the back of a commitment to recover our sovereign independence. "Whatever the initial problems, the Prime Minister still knows that 'no deal is better than a bad deal'. With the country and the House of Commons behind him, he should feel emboldened as we finally take back control and unleash the spirit of the British people," says Sir Bernard.One our site today: Conservatives for Liberty's Emily Barley looks at Biden and Trump's policies around US-China relations. You can read the full article here.For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

[minerve 2] 20/11/2020 11:22

Who are the EU ruling elites? Do they exist?

[maxk] 20/11/2020 11:19

But €U ruling elites are ok eh Min?

[alphorn] 20/11/2020 11:19

"Don't care if my 100 LLOY shares drop to 20p on no deal"

I am sure that you are right on that one cheshire. ;))

[alphorn] 20/11/2020 11:15

cheshire - you are like an amusing parrot. When you run out of arguments out comes "some things are more important than money".

I shall send you some bird seed if you run out post 31/12/20. Lol

[minerve 2] 20/11/2020 11:15

Sovereignty - so we can keep the ruling elites in a position to choose not to be transparent in their finances and not pay their fair share in taxes - after they've made all that wealth from exploiting other humans and greedily taking a disproportionate share of human labour fruits.

Sovereignty - so the hereditary German realm in The Palace stand a greater chance of long-term survival.

[maxk] 20/11/2020 11:14

But it would all be different if we stayed in the €U eh Min?

[minerve 2] 20/11/2020 11:06

People will have little sovereignty or freedom to do anything when they lose their jobs!

They'll be stuck at the benefits centre and they'll have no choice but to shop at the cheapest supermarket!

Some freedom! Some sovereignty!

cheshire

Sovereignty?

What sovereignty do you think we will have and how will it benefit us personally?

Freedom?

Freedom from what and how will that benefit us personally?

[minerve 2] 20/11/2020 11:01

The truth is cheshire, you are right! There are more important things than money but that doesn't mean money isn't important, it is.

[cheshire pete] 20/11/2020 11:01

"Don't care if my LLOY drop to 20p on no deal...some things are more important than money....except to remainers that is."


Love and hope don't put food on the table and pay the mortgage.

List the items that are more important. Go on, let's have a laugh for the weekend.

[cheshire pete] 20/11/2020 10:52

....easily go to the wire. Inevitable more like lol...cos the way the EU operates. Known about for years.

Only inevitable if we allow it though.

Don't care if my LLOY drop to 20p on no deal...some things are more important than money....except to remainers that is.

Surprised at flakiness from Gove worrying about Scots indy though.
