PM seeks to reassure public amid Tory sleaze allegations, saying UK is ‘not remotely a corrupt country’
Boris Johnson has insisted that the UK is “not remotely a corrupt country” and said MPs should be investigated and punished for breaking the rules, as the Conservative party continues to be embroiled in allegations of sleaze.
Speaking in Glasgow, where he was making a brief visit to the Cop26 climate summit as it entered its final days, the prime minister sought to reassure the public after a slew of revelations about the private earnings of his party colleagues. “I genuinely believe that the UK is not remotely a corrupt country, nor do I believe that our institutions are corrupt,” he said.
