At full-house @Transparency_HU conference I explained #Hungary has a bad track record to uphold #ruleoflaw and #transparency during presidency both at #EU and national level. István Szent-Iványi, chair of Connect Europe: #ruleoflow breach in one country undermines the whole EU.

I expect most of us want our politicians to tell the truth. But should lying be made a crime? My colleague @swann_tweets sets out why this is not the simple solution it may seem… https://t.co/9wNirmV06p #UKPolitics #AntiCorruption #Standards

If you're a political integrity nerd & want a distraction today, here are new changes to the Ministerial Code of Conduct. Some positive steps to bring more transparency and accountability!
The PM’s new ministerial code unveiled today includes some new and welcome commitments but this is very much a first step in what needs to be an ambitious upgrade of the UK’s standards framework. Here’s Spotlight’s highlights and lowlights: https://t.co/zt4lgey2AV

Lots of fascinating issues around integrity in football in this great chat with @thedanhough!

From the moment the PM told us about his football-related freebies, it sounded like a very big conflict of interest with creating the new football regulator. It’s perhaps naive not venal but either way should not be happening. Disappointing.

I would be interested to know from all @Conservatives leadership candidates what % of Ministers from the Johnson government they believe 'should be in prison' -and if it is 0%, does that mean the laws need changing or that those Ministers were models of probity and integrity?
Kemi Badenoch says 'five to ten per cent' of civil servants 'should be in prison' Speaking at a @spectator event, the Tory leadership hopeful says some civil servants 'leak official secrets' and 'undermine their ministers'

Media rows on freebies have overly focused on whether politicians should accept gifts. The bigger question is: why are these offered in the first place? My blog w/@MillsSheehy on why this is Keir's chance to end decades of corrosive money in politics. https://t.co/FKFvpL2vFb
