BORIS Johnson’s “sleazebuster” quit last night in the wake of revelations about lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street.
Lord Geidt said he was leaving his role as the Prime Minister’s Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests “with regret”.
He did not give a reason for his shock departure but in a statement explained it was the “right thing” for him to do.
Lord Geidt said: “With regret, I feel it is right that I am resigning from my post as independent adviser on ministers’ interests.”
It is understood No 10 was blindsided by the sudden exit. A senior Downing Street source said: “We are all surprised. This is a mystery to the Prime Minister.
“Only on Monday Lord Geidt indicated he would like to stay on for another six months.”
