Former PM said trying to shield MP from punishment suggested Johnson’s government was ‘politically corrupt’
Sir John Major has launched a searing attack on the government over its treatment of the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal, condemning the handling of the row as “shameful and wrong”.
The former prime minister said it suggested Boris Johnson’s administration was “politically corrupt”, and that Major would be posed with a “dilemma” if he had to consider voting for Johnson to remain PM at the next election.
