Says he cannot stay in government as a result of their lamentable record on Covid fraud

If Boris had a headache before I would hazard it is progressing to a migraine !

He literally just walked out of the Lords chamber directly after giving his resignation speech !

He seemed rather miffed

My link to skynews was just showing the resignation of Lord Agnew...but it seems its just a live feed and keeps moving onto other news items. Anyway the details are out there

[Stickybottle]

Particularly chelle7272

Hopefully footage of his speech will be available shortly

It was brief and very much to the point !

Who?

Watch the link provided by choux
He makes his role apparent

Pleasure, Stickybottle.

Good speech, accepted responsibility, showed integrity, acted admirably.

[choux]

I should have added there was lot of controlled emotion in that speech. Now that is what I call a politician.

[Gromit]

Agnew was behind faculty, the company linked to the dodgy Cambridge Analytica, who stole data to deliver Brexit advertising to voters before the 2016 referendum.

A bit late to be getting ethical.

Maybe taking a lead from Cummings before the house of cards collapses ?

Hmm, whilst I am fully behind this chap, this thread seems to have turned into a leftie love in. So I will leave it at that.

Good for him, but I'd have a lot more respect for him if he'd resigned his peerage at the same time.
