in the uk and overseas. but after a week where the government u turned on its plans to overhaul the system that holds mps to account here, just as one of their own mps was facing a 30 day suspension, some fear that image has been turned upside down. it s a pattern of behaviour, and what makes me most angry is the prime minister is trashing the reputation of our democracy and our country, and so this is far from a one off and a u turn, you know, a bad week for the government. it s a pattern of behaviour by a prime minister who doesn t know how to uphold standards in public life. the labour leader s anger is tangible after conservative mps blocked a recommendation to suspend their mp owen paterson after he breached lobbying rules, calling instead for an overhaul of the mps standards watchdog. the government u turned on their plans less than 2a hours later, and owen paterson has since resigned. while the government has apologised and called the move a mistake, today the environm
