IT’S
BEEN
SINCE THE PRIME
MINISTER LAST HAD AN INDEPENDENT ETHICS ADVISOR
Between Brexit induced labour shortages and the
amount of time he’s spent hiking taxes, Rishi Sunak STILL hasn’t
managed to appoint an independent adviser on ethics and the work is
building up!
In his first month, Sunak made Suella Braverman Home
Secretary, one
week after she was sacked for a security breach, both his deputy
and chief
whip faced multiple accusations of bullying, and it was reported
his household income could still be benefiting from trade
with Putin’s Russia despite UK sanctions.
Even more
recently, it
was reported that a Conservative Peer was paid £29 million by a
company she recommended for the government’s VIP lane for pandemic
contracts.
What an in-tray!
We want to help the Prime
Minister out.
Add your name to our ready made application and
you could be the Prime Minister’s next independent adviser on ethics
and standards.*
The continued absence of an ethics adviser is
just the tip of the iceberg. Since 2019 the Government has shut down
avenues of accountability in the courts via reform of judicial review,
on the streets via the Policing Act, and at the ballot box via the
Elections Act which will skew the next election even more in their
favour.
We think our leaders should lead by example and hold
themselves to a higher standard.
We think politicians shouldn’t
be the final judges of their own behaviour.
We think there
should be more accountability not less.
Best wishes,
Naomi Smith CEO, Best for
Britain

an authentic opportunity for employment. But hopefully it will make
them realise that we've not forgotten, and we'll be watching until
they appoint someone.
