Boris Johnson’s ethics adviser, Lord Hyde, has resigned dramatically after lawmakers teased him earlier this week whether the prime minister had violated the ministerial code when he was fined for Partygate.

He is the second independent adviser Johnson has lost. Alex Allen resigned after the prime minister ignored his statement that Priti Patel had harassed government officials.
