Boris Johnson has urged Tory MPs to `` form a square around the prittster '' after Priti Patel was found to have `` shouted and swore '' at staff in behaviour `` that can be described as bullying '' .
The Home Secretary apologised today after the damning inquiry found she broke the Ministerial Code of ethics .
But the PM Johnson overruled the inquiry and decided he did n't believe Ms Patel broke the Ministerial Code - despite writing in it himself that `` there must be no bullying '' .
In a bizarrely worded message to MPs he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around her .
His message read : `` Time to form a square around the prittster '' .
Asked what the PM 's potentially stationary themed message meant , his Press Secretary Allegra Stratton told reporters that it was the PM asking colleagues to support her on a `` testing day '' .
She said : He said it to recognise that today she is coming forward with a full and frank apology .
`` He wanted her parliamentary colleagues to support her on what will be a testing day for her .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` loathes bullying '' and `` would encourage companies and organisations up and down the land to take these things very seriously '' The civil servant who led the inquiry resigned instantly after the PM 's shock decision , which came at the end of Anti-Bullying Week .
Sir Alex Allan said in a statement : “ I recognise that it is for the Prime Minister to make a judgment on whether actions by a minister amount to a breach of the ministerial code .
“ But I feel that it is right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ position as the Prime Minister ’ s independent adviser on the code.
” After months of delay , No10 today finally released just a one-and-a-half page summary of the report Sir Alex launched back in Spring .
Downing Street is refusing to publish the full report in a move Labour has branded a `` prime ministerial cover-up '' .
Labour leader Keir Starmer demanded the full report is published urgently and the PM and Ms Patel `` face questions on their conduct '' on Monday in the Commons .
`` If I were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been removed from her job , '' Sir Keir said .
`` It is hard to imagine another workplace in the UK where this behaviour would be condoned by those at the top '' The Government should be setting an example .
Instead , it is one rule for Boris Johnson and his friends , another for everyone else .
`` The Prime Minister has previously said he ‘ loathes bullying ’ .
Yet when one of his own ministers is found to have bullied their staff he ignores the damning report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them .
`` In the interest of transparency , the report into Priti Patel ’ s conduct and any drafts should now be fully published and the Prime Minister and Home Secretary should come to the House on Monday to face questions on their conduct . ''
In his damning summary , Sir Alex said the Home Secretary was often `` justifiably frustrated '' after feeling a `` lack of support '' , but that `` manifested itself in forceful expression , including some occasions of shouting and swearing . ''
`` This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upset , but that has been the effect on some individuals , '' he wrote .
He concluded : `` Her approach on occasions has amounted to behaviour that can be described as bullying in terms of the impact felt by individuals .
`` To that extent her behaviour has been in breach of the Ministerial Code , even if unintentionally . ''

thedailymirror--2020-11-20--Priti Patel bullying findings in full - everything we know about damning report

A report which Boris Johnson sat on for months has found Priti Patel `` shouted and swore '' at staff in actions `` that can be described as bullying '' .
The long-awaited report by the Prime Minister 's adviser on Ministerial Standards , Sir Alex Allan , found the Home Secretary broke the Ministerial Code `` even if unintentionally '' .
Yet Sir Alex has now resigned after Boris Johnson unilaterally overturned his findings , decided Ms Patel did n't break the Code and refused to sack her .
No10 has released just a one-and-a-half page summary of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Downing Street is refusing to publish the full report in a move Labour has branded a `` prime ministerial cover-up '' .
So what does the bit we do know about say - and what have the PM and Keir Starmer said in return ?
Here are the full statements .
Public findings from the Priti Patel report in full The Ministerial Code says “ Ministers should be professional in their working relationships with the Civil Service and treat all those with whom they come into contact with consideration and respect.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Civil Servants – should be expected to handle robust criticism but should not have to face behaviour that goes beyond that .
The Home Secretary says that she puts great store by professional , open relationships .
She is action orientated and can be direct .
The Home Secretary has also become – justifiably in many instances – frustrated by the Home Office leadership ’ s lack of responsiveness and the lack of support she felt in DfID three years ago .
The evidence is that this has manifested itself in forceful expression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ swearing .
This may not be done intentionally to cause upset , but that has been the effect on some individuals .
The Ministerial Code says that “ Harassing , bullying or other inappropriate or discriminating behaviour wherever it takes place is not consistent with theMinisterial Code .
Definitions of harassment concern comments or actions relating to personal characteristics and there is no evidence from the Cabinet Office ’ s work of any such behaviour by the Home Secretary .
The definition of bullying adopted by the Civil Service accepts that legitimate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s performance will not amount to bullying .
It defines bullying as intimidating or insulting behaviour that makes an individual feel uncomfortable , frightened , less respected or put down .
Instances of the behaviour reported to the Cabinet Office would meet such a definition .
The Civil Service itself needs to reflect on its role during this period .
The Home Office was not as flexible as it could have been in responding to the Home Secretary ’ s requests and direction .
She has – legitimately – not always felt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no feedback was given to the Home Secretary of the impact of her behaviour , which meant she was unaware of issues that she could otherwise have addressed .
My advice is that the Home Secretary has not consistently met the high standards required by the Ministerial Code of treating her civil servants with consideration and respect .
Her approach on occasions has amounted to behaviour that can be described as bullying in terms of the impact felt by individuals .
To that extent her behaviour has been in breach of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This conclusion needs to be seen in context .
There is no evidence that she was aware of the impact of her behaviour , and no feedback was given to her at the time .
The high pressure and demands of the role , in the Home Office , coupled with the need for more supportive leadership from top of the department has clearly been a contributory factor .
In particular , I note the finding of different and more positive behaviour since these issues were raised with her .
Boris Johnson 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prime Minister has taken advice from his Independent Adviser , Sir Alex Allan , in relation to the allegations made earlier this year around the Home Secretary ’ s conduct .
The Prime Minister takes this issue very seriously and recognises that it is always difficult for individuals to come forward and raise concerns and is grateful to those who have done so .
The Prime Minister is grateful to Sir Alex for his advice and has considered his conclusions carefully .
It was clear from Sir Alex ’ s advice that at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all round .
Sir Alex ’ s advice found that the Home Secretary had become – justifiably in many instances – frustrated by the Home Office leadership ’ s lack of responsiveness and the lack of support she felt in DfID three years ago .
He also found , however , that the Home Secretary had not always treated her civil servants with the consideration and respect that would be expected , and her approach on occasion has amounted to behaviour that can be described as bullying in terms of the impact felt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advise , therefore , that the Home Secretary had not consistently met the high standards expected of her under the Ministerial Code .
The Prime Minister notes Sir Alex ’ s advice that many of the concerns now raised were not raised at the time and that the Home Secretary was unaware of the impact that she had .
He is reassured that the Home Secretary is sorry for inadvertently upsetting those with whom she was working .
He is also reassured that relationships , practices and culture in the Home Office are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the code , having considered Sir Alex ’ s advice and weighing up all the factors , the Prime Minister ’ s judgement is that the Ministerial Code was not breached .
The Prime Minister has full confidence in the Home Secretary and considers this matter now closed .
He is grateful to the thousands of civil servants working extremely hard to support delivery of the Government ’ s priorities .
Ms Patel had previously faced allegations concerning her time at three separate government departments - the Home Office , Department for Work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Claims began at the Home Office where her most senior civil servant , Sir Philip Rutnam , resigned and vowed to sue for constructive dismissal .
Mr Rutnam said in his resignation statement : `` I have received allegations that her conduct has included shouting and swearing , belittling people , making unreasonable and repeated demands - behaviour that created fear and that needed some bravery to call out.
” It later emerged a DWP staffer , who allegedly took an overdose following an interaction with Ms Patel as Employment Minister , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third claim then emerged , this time at DFID when she was aid minister .
Reported by the BBC , Sun and Times , it was claimed she `` repeatedly harassed and belittled '' her private secretary so badly that he signed off with stress .
But it was never made clear by the government which of these allegations , aired in the media and strongly denied by Ms Patel , were looked at by the Cabinet Office or in what detail .
“ I am sorry that my behaviour in the past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been my intention to cause upset to anyone .
I am very grateful for the hard work of thousands of civil servants who help to deliver the Government ’ s agenda .
“ I care deeply about delivering on the commitments we have made to the people of this country and I acknowledge that I am direct and have at times got frustrated .
“ I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his support .
The Permanent Secretary and I are working closely together to deliver on the vital job the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country.
” '' Yet again , the Prime Minister has been found wanting when his leadership has been tested .
If I were Prime Minister , the Home Secretary would have been removed from her job .
`` It is hard to imagine another workplace in the UK where this behaviour would be condoned by those at the top .
The Government should be setting an example .
Instead , it is one rule for Boris Johnson and his friends , another for everyone else .
`` The Prime Minister has previously said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when one of his own ministers is found to have bullied their staff he ignores the damning report sat on his desk and instead protects them .
`` In the interests of transparency , the report into Priti Patel ’ s conduct and any drafts should now be fully published and the Prime Minister and Home Secretary should come to the House on Monday to face questions on their conduct . ''

A one-and-a-half-page summary of a report has found Priti Patel 'shouted and swore' at staff, broke the Ministerial Code and her behaviour 'can be described as bullying'. Here's exactly what it said
A report which Boris Johnson sat on for months has found Priti Patel "shouted and swore" at staff in actions "that can be described as bullying".
The long-awaited report by the Prime Minister's adviser on Ministerial Standards, Sir Alex Allan, found the Home Secretary broke the Ministerial Code "even if unintentionally".
Yet Sir Alex has now resigned after Boris Johnson unilaterally overturned his findings, decided Ms Patel didn't break the Code and refused to sack her.
No10 has released just a one-and-a-half page summary of the report Sir Alex launched back in Spring.
Downing Street is refusing to publish the full report in a move Labour has branded a "prime ministerial cover-up".

Public findings from the Priti Patel report in full
The Ministerial Code says “Ministers should be professional in their working relationships with the Civil Service and treat all those with whom they come into contact with consideration and respect.”
I believe Civil Servants – particularly Senior Civil Servants – should be expected to handle robust criticism but should not have to face behaviour that goes beyond that.
The Home Secretary says that she puts great store by professional, open relationships. She is action orientated and can be direct.

What claims did Priti Patel face?
Ms Patel had previously faced allegations concerning her time at three separate government departments - the Home Office, Department for Work and Pensions and Department for International Development.
Claims began at the Home Office where her most senior civil servant, Sir Philip Rutnam, resigned and vowed to sue for constructive dismissal.
Mr Rutnam said in his resignation statement: "I have received allegations that her conduct has included shouting and swearing, belittling people, making unreasonable and repeated demands - behaviour that created fear and that needed some bravery to call out.”
It later emerged a DWP staffer, who allegedly took an overdose following an interaction with Ms Patel as Employment Minister, was given a £25,000 payout.
A third claim then emerged, this time at DFID when she was aid minister. Reported by the BBC, Sun and Times, it was claimed she "repeatedly harassed and belittled" her private secretary so badly that he signed off with stress.
But it was never made clear by the government which of these allegations, aired in the media and strongly denied by Ms Patel, were looked at by the Cabinet Office or in what detail.

thedailymirror--2020-11-20--New FA chairman selection criteria outlined as Rosenior named on selection panel

Liam Rosenior will join a six-person panel to select the new FA chair to replace the disgraced Greg Clarke .
But chief executive Mark Bullingham warned it would be a “ tough ask ” to find an ex-player to fill the role – and he insisted the “ best candidate ” would be appointed despite pressure to appoint a BAME or female applicant .
Clarke was forced to quit earlier this month after using the term “ coloured footballers ” and other out-dated language speaking to a parliamentary select committee .
The FA have today announced the job will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of making the appointment in the spring .
The selection panel will include three independent members – chair Stacey Cartwright , Kate Tinsley and Rosenior .
The former Fulham , Hull City and Brighton defender , 36 , is now first-team coach at Derby and joined the FA ’ s Inclusion Advisory Board in May 2020 .
`` It ’ s an absolute honour to be asked to be part of the panel to recruit the new Chair of the Football Association , ” Rosenior said .
“ I am truly humbled and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ making an appointment that is so important to our game . ''
Bullingham said : “ We are really delighted Liam has agreed to join us .
He has impressed everyone on our Inclusion Advisory Board he sits on .
`` It is really important for us to have someone who represents players and coaches.
” Former Chelsea captain Paul Elliott chairs the Inclusion Advisory Board and has been tipped as a contender .
Bullingham declined to talk about individual candidates however , but said : “ There are two main areas of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absolutely brilliant ambassador - I think players can absolutely do that .
“ I think there is a second requirement to run the board .
I think it is hard to see that someone who has never run a board would be able to step in and be able to run a complex stakeholder board of a £450m organisation .
`` I ’ m not ruling anyone out , I ’ m just telling you what the criteria are for the job .
I think possibly it ’ s a tough ask .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I do think it ’ s difficult.
” There is pressure to appoint a more modern FA chairman after the embarrassing demise of 63-year-old Clarke .
But asked about the expectation of appointing a non- white or female boss , Bullingham said : “ I would hope not .
I think we have been really clear that we want absolutely to have a diverse shortlist and then choose the best candidate from that .
`` And I think anyone from the historically disadvantaged communities would be asking for the same .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well beyond the usual suspects.
” The other members of the selection panel – who have been appointed by the FA board - are interim FA chair Peter McCormick , Rupinder Bains and Jack Pearce .

The former Fulham, Hull City and Brighton defender, 36, is now first-team coach at Derby and joined the FA’s Inclusion Advisory Board in May 2020.

"It’s an absolute honour to be asked to be part of the panel to recruit the new Chair of the Football Association,” Rosenior said.
“I am truly humbled and really looking forward to being involved in making an appointment that is so important to our game."
Bullingham said: “We are really delighted Liam has agreed to join us. He has impressed everyone on our Inclusion Advisory Board he sits on.
"It is really important for us to have someone who represents players and coaches.”

Former Chelsea captain Paul Elliott chairs the Inclusion Advisory Board and has been tipped as a contender.
Bullingham declined to talk about individual candidates however, but said: “There are two main areas of the role. One to be an absolutely brilliant ambassador - I think players can absolutely do that.
“I think there is a second requirement to run the board. I think it is hard to see that someone who has never run a board would be able to step in and be able to run a complex stakeholder board of a £450m organisation.
"I’m not ruling anyone out, I’m just telling you what the criteria are for the job. I think possibly it’s a tough ask. I’m not saying no, but I do think it’s difficult.”
There is pressure to appoint a more modern FA chairman after the embarrassing demise of 63-year-old Clarke.
But asked about the expectation of appointing a non- white or female boss, Bullingham said: “I would hope not. I think we have been really clear that we want absolutely to have a diverse shortlist and then choose the best candidate from that.
"And I think anyone from the historically disadvantaged communities would be asking for the same. I think you will see we are looking well beyond the usual suspects.”
The other members of the selection panel – who have been appointed by the FA board - are interim FA chair Peter McCormick, Rupinder Bains and Jack Pearce.

A couples love story originated from very dubious circumstances, but now they are set to get married next year after the odd situation brought them together romantically
Man 'catfished' by woman falls in love with her sister after she used her photos
We live in a world where people can easily pretend to be someone they're not on the internet.
From acting much cooler on Instagram to creating fake social profiles, people should be aware that the person they're chatting too online may not be who they claim they are.
One woman says she got the shock of her life after discovering that her sister had been using her photos to catfish a man.
And in the most unlikely set of circumstances ever, she claims that she is now set to marry him after they grew closer following the initial shock.
It's certainly going to trump everyone else's stories if they ever end up discussing how they met with future friends.
Or it might be a story they decide to keep to themselves.
