Ex-PM John Major: Government handling of Paterson case shameful
The government's handling of Owen Paterson 's recommended Suspension was shameful and wrong, former Conservative Prime Minister Sir John Major has said.
In a BBC interview, He Said the actions of Boris Johnson and his government were " damaging At Home and to our reputation overseas".
This Week , the government tried to block the Suspension of Owen Paterson , who had broken lobbying Rules - But then reversed its decision.
The government has apologised.
Mr Paterson was found to have broken lobbying Rules and was facing Suspension - until Tory MPs blocked it by calling for an overhaul of the MPs' standards watchdog instead.
They initially had the backing of No 10, But Downing Street reversed its decision after a furious backlash by opposition MPs and some Conservatives.
Mr Paterson then resigned as MP for North Shropshire, saying he wanted A Life " outside the Cruel World of politics".
Sir John said the government's attempt to overhaul the standards system was " rather a bad mistake" But " isn't a mistake on its own".
" There's a general whiff of 'We Are The Masters now' about their behaviour, " He Said .
" It has to stop, it has to stop soon. "
'Un-Conservative behaviour'Sir John told BBC's Radio 4 's Today programme: " I have been a Conservative all My Life . And if I Am concerned at how the government is behaving, I suspect lots of Other People are as well.
" It seems to me, as a lifelong Conservative, that much of what they are doing is un-Conservative in its behaviour. "
" This government has done A Number of things that have concerned me deeply: they have broken The Law , The Illegal prorogation of Parliament. They have broken treaties, I have in mind the Northern Ireland Protocol. They have broken their word on many occasions. "
He went on to describe the government as " perhaps politically corrupt" such as briefing parts of The Press well in advance of any Public Announcement or statement to Parliament.
Asked about reports Owen Paterson could receive a peerage, Sir John said he thought it " would be rather extraordinary if that happens" - adding that he was unsure it would be approved.
Sir John 's own Conservative government in the 1990s was brought down in part due to allegations of sleaze and the cash-for-questions scandal where MPs were offered money in exchange for asking parliamentary questions.
This Was " immensely damaging, it was embarrassing, it hurt Parliament, " Sir John said.
" When that happened I Set Up the Nolan Committee on Standards in Public Life to stop it, which has been a huge success.
" The striking difference is this: in the 1990s I Set Up a committee to tackle this sort of behaviour.
" Over The Last few days we have seen today's government trying to defend this sort of behaviour. "
