PM’s advisor on ministerial code resigned after PM backs Patel. Sir Alex Allan: “It’s for PM to make a judgement on whether actions by a Minister amount to a breach of Code. But I feel that it is right that I should now resign from my position as PM’s independent adviser on Code”

Boris Johnson is expected to set out his decision later on the findings of an inquiry into the conduct of Home Secretary Priti Patel.
Sources familiar with the Cabinet Office report told the BBC it concluded Ms Patel broke rules on ministers' behaviour.
She has always strongly denied allegations of bullying.
The existing Space Directorate, based at RAF High Wycombe, will become the Space Command. Investment in weapons and tech, including ships and Tempest fighter jets, will support 10,000 jobs, the government said.
Successful rocket launches will give Space Command a sovereign capability to put weapons and surveillance satellites into orbit, to defend British interests, without relying on other nations.
The key difference will be that it welcomes staff from across all three armed forces.
It is expected to launch its first rocket from a site in Scotland, Wales or Cornwall.

The question that the media haven't asked: given that their attention was focused on the front door, who was leaving by the back door?
I will be hugely amused to see the media's reaction when Cummings is given a peerage!
