It turns out that there is a minister in the Cameron cabinet who can say sorry. Following the second week of Warsi rule breaking revelations, the Tory party co-chairman has apologised for ‘causing any embarrassment’ to the government. But Cameron isn’t stopping there — she is also being hauled up for potentially breaking the ministerial code:
‘There are clearly some lessons for future handling and I have asked Alex Allan, my adviser on ministers’ interests, to consider the issues that have been raised with respect to the Ministerial Code and to provide advice to me as rapidly as possible’
If the Prime Minister is suddenly taking a tough stance against ministerial wrongdoings, this will lead to the inevitable question — why not Hunt? Despite facing increased pressure from his Leveson appearance and upcoming Commons vote, the Prime Minister continues to refuse any investigation into the Culture Secretary over his conduct regarding the BSkyB bid.
