An Anti-Fraud Minister? What on Earth was he supposed to do in that role? What exactly qualified this guy to hold this mysterious Ministerial post. Indeed, we've only heard of this post now, because of a dramatic resignation. What's the betting that this ex-Minister wouldn't be able briefly to set out the contents of the UK Fraud Act 2006, if challenged to do so; particularly, Section 3 (which identifies the crime of theft by the withholding of key-information).
@@tentaklaus9382 You are either a troll or an ignoramus. The Johnson government is one of the most corrupt governments that the UK has ever had. It's well-known that the Tories are *always* taking "political donations" (aka BRIBES) from big business, indeed it was only recently that Owen Paterson was forced to resign as an MP for taking bribes from at least two dodgy companies. And he is the *only* one to be caught. There are also other big question marks regarding the awarding of PPE equipment contracts by the Johnson government, where large, profitable contracts were given to companies with direct connections to Tory ministers and MPs, without proper scrutiny. An anti-corruption minister can only do their job if the people leading the party are giving their full support. And obviously the dishonest Boris Johnson is *not* doing that. It places the minister in an impossible position, and he has chosen to take the honourable way out. No doubt he could have stayed in post, allowing Tory corruption to continue, and no doubt he would have been awarded with a peerage or some such honour in the Queens' Honours list by the Prime Minister. But he chose to be honest instead. All credit to him.
I am not a fan of the House of Lords, because it's unelected however, I will recognise statesman like behaviour when I see it. Well done that man. Honour and integrety are rare things in British political life these days.

Sadly, it's not just the last decade. Before that there are millions dead in war overseas (now pointlessly), country bankrupted, the NHS split into trusts, all led by a man who should be in jail for war crimes. It's pretty much the same story in the anglosphere, US,AUS, and even precious Europe all being led by corrupt donkeys. It's getting uglier by the day and I really don't think it will end well.
I don’t think this is totally unrelated to the other issues circulating around Johnson. He says it is but in effect he’s saying this administration is useless, that they need to sort themselves out, and this inevitably feeds into the wider feeling that we need a change. Well played Sir.

How proud it must make those who voted Tory to see such an amazing government. Credibility just dazzles us all.

"It estimated that the business department had put the estimated cost of fraudulent loans at £4.9bn - 11% of the total given out" I can't believe this, yet they stop your benefits without hesitation
Tax fraud, evasion and avoidance costs this country far more than benefits fraud ever has. But the government and its media chums like to cause devision amongst the "lower classes". This is because if we stopped fighting amongst ourselves we would be an unstoppable force against them.
The difference is that some Tories actually do believe their policies will make life better for us ordinary folk and will show strength of character when pushed to do something they feel is wrong. And some will show some common sense/compassion and be outspoken about it - usually when they are not standing in the next election! But the majority will do what the party says because they want to remain in their position of power and part of the elite. ALL MPs - regardless of party, should be allowed to vote with their conscience and not as pushed by the leaders and the whips.
We don't see that in The Lords very often. But the Member of Bury South started it and the Member and Lord have the Intestinal Fortitude to Go. It shows how weak the so called leader of the country is. Lies,lies and Lies. Just Go Boris like your name sake did.🕳🇬🇧

A bit difficult to understand why someone with integrity has to go when apparently a certain proven scoundrel will need to be bodily dragged out of his office.
The issue here is that Lord Agnew asserted that UK loses £29 billion to corruption. This is no accident - it's how the system is set up. I imagine the figure is rather more over the last 2 years. Respect to Lord Agnew for having some morals which appear to be almost entirely absent in the Commons.
My Lord Agnew, you have my unending respect. Your actions and resignation speak through volumes. Integrity and sheer groundedness....I thank you for serving the Houses of the United Kingdom ❤
Being honourable might be preventing him from making such a bold public statement. By resigning he would not be breaching any non disclosures he feels bound to, he would not be whistle blowing, but he is certainly shouting that there are serious fraud issues in the government.
@@dougaltolan3017 I think they could do with many, many more whistle-blowers that will shine light on their very dark deeds. Personally. This is what we're short of! How can you _know_ things and walk away, washing your hands of it all? I would consider heads above the parapet spilling what they know as *much more honourable*
During his entire speech not a single person shouted, jeered or laughed, almost complete silence. The house of Lords is much more sensible and proffesionla than the house of commoners- I meant commons...
It always has been. There are too many peers, because successive governments have used the Lords as the place to pay political debt. There are more Lords than seats. With some work it really could be the place that holds governments to account.
I wish we had politicians here in Italy with an ounce of integrity shown here and step down when its appropriate to do so and should the occasion arise.
The thing is I hate the House of Lords because it is fundamentally undemocratic. But then you look at the behavior in the Lords compared to the Commons and I appreciate the HoL.
Im a literal communist yet the things I admire the most in the UK "political" scene at the moment are the house of lords and the queen. This is NOT supported for the institutions, it is an indication of the state of UK politics.

Sadly many people with integrity are either getting away from public life or cancelled by those in charge. I don’t know if we have already moved from Democracy to another type of regime but it is clear that in many European countries the ruling class is not doing what they were voted for and as tensions arise, the far right gets stronger and stronger. Will humans ever learn?
“INTEGRITY” Something that is in great scarcity in this day, amongst humanity. Most don’t even understand what it means or that it is not a given quality. But is built and to be admired.
That man is the type that would make a great PM. They dont make them like that anymore. This man was shaken to the core by the corruption in the government. Cheers for Lord Agnew. Live long and prosper, sir. 🖖
Probably he will not, otherwise it wouln’t be him. I reckon he will be kick-out in a most humilliating way because he simply went too far and some urgent damage-control measures must be taken as soon as possible in order to gain back public trust. How sad the Brits lost the opportunity to be leaded by someone like Corbyn and have instead chosen this petty clown, but I am certain this time they will learn, will you?
They all need to resign, the bloke behind him looks like he has just woken up from a coma. He had no idea what was going on and that’s the same for most of them.
Integrity was used a lot. I took that to be lord Agnew calling this government more over boris a liar. If So it about fecking time someone stood up and said look Buffon i’ve had enough your your Circus just piss off.

No, it appears to be one of a lot of them, not just Boris, people like you are the fools that will rally against a scapegoat, only to wave an angry fist every other time the same thing happens again, but hey I am sure ignorance surely is bliss. Yeah everything is Boris' fault isn't it, you would sit there all happy he was out, while the rest of the party w@nkers get away with it and they keep spending our money on little moats for the duck ponds.
Gotta love integrity. Rare commodity.
..shame about the rest of them!

Why are my replies getting deleted .. I posted some key evidence
Well, looky, looky, looky. A politician with integrity. A rare sighting.
Yeah but he's gone now
Yeah but a politician no more xD They'll now live out the rest of their lives on their extremely generous retirement. Guess we gotta just hope and pray that the next one has some integrity. I won't hold my breath.
HEY BORRIS. ~ THAT'S WHAT 'HONOUR' LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE.
Old school at work! Pity there aren't any more with principles like his! Good luck in the future, m'lord! 👏 👏 👏
"It estimated that the business department had put the estimated cost of fraudulent loans at £4.9bn - 11% of the total given out" I can't believe this, yet they stop your benefits without hesitation
This needs more attention
Tax fraud, evasion and avoidance costs this country far more than benefits fraud ever has. But the government and its media chums like to cause devision amongst the "lower classes". This is because if we stopped fighting amongst ourselves we would be an unstoppable force against them.
Easy targets, they never go for the big boys who can afford to fight back
Stop their benefits!
TWENTY NINE BILLION - he said.
I normally dislike Tories,, but this is one of a few good ones with a desire to deliver for the good of the people.
The difference is that some Tories actually do believe their policies will make life better for us ordinary folk and will show strength of character when pushed to do something they feel is wrong. And some will show some common sense/compassion and be outspoken about it - usually when they are not standing in the next election! But the majority will do what the party says because they want to remain in their position of power and part of the elite. ALL MPs - regardless of party, should be allowed to vote with their conscience and not as pushed by the leaders and the whips.
We don't see that in The Lords very often. But the Member of Bury South started it and the Member and Lord have the Intestinal Fortitude to Go. It shows how weak the so called leader of the country is. Lies,lies and Lies. Just Go Boris like your name sake did.🕳🇬🇧
And the track record of socialism has oceans of blood on its hands
@@jonh2469
Two things there. Firstly socialism can be very mild (Denmark) or very extreme (China). As with everything, a little bit is fine but take it to the extreme and its very bad.
Secondly, Labour aren't socialist these days, with Starmer in control they are just half arsed conservatives
@@jonh2469 I fail to see how your reply is relevant in any way.
Socialism wasn't mentioned in the comment.
Saying someone clearly shows a want to deliver "good for the people".
Is hardly talking about outright Socialism.
I SALUTE YOU WITH BOTH
HANDS
What a government
Wow integrity 👏 an example for bungling Boris the betrayer.
Boris and other corrupt ministers need to take a leaf out of this man’s book.
No they don't, they need to be arrested, charged, prosecuted and jailed.
He's also a corrupt minister. He's only there for his corruption.
Wishful thinking Marie🤣
@@garnetnewton-wade6254 Certainly the Labour party need to be seeing bars in front of their eyes for many reasons.
This whole place needs clearing out and disinfecting. They are pissing hard earned taxpayers money away.

A bit difficult to understand why someone with integrity has to go when apparently a certain proven scoundrel will need to be bodily dragged out of his office.
Now hopefully the rest of the HOL follow suit and end this antiquated shower of shite.
The issue here is that Lord Agnew asserted that UK loses £29 billion to corruption. This is no accident - it's how the system is set up. I imagine the figure is rather more over the last 2 years. Respect to Lord Agnew for having some morals which appear to be almost entirely absent in the Commons.
If you can imagine it then it must be true!
Well, there's £37b missing plus the numerous £108m in "ppe contracts."
check how much was lost under Blair with NHS asset selloff
This is easily one of Jim Broadbent's greatest performances.
Lol👍👍
Brilliant...made my day that.
Really let himself go.
Brilliant 😂😂
Just spilt my beer laughing at that...
This is a picture of politics. The last honourable person in politics just left. He knows what was going on
Thank you sir!
He sounded and looked seriously pissed off, which is nice. 🙂
Integrity and courageousness , thankfully there are still people like this ! I Salute you sir
This Lord has Knowledge Strength and Integrity
Trouble is this leaves an opening for Johnson to give someone corrupt that position. A yes man or women who will do anything asked of them.
Exactly
Be careful what you wish for as they say!!
Incorrect, as much as it allows Johnson, it requires a yes from the queen herself
He won't have time
@@shimmy7169
But thats merely lip service to protocol if the current pm wants them as a lord they will be.
Thank you for your principles, integrity and scruples sir. I only wish that there were more like you.
My Lord Agnew, you have my unending respect. Your actions and resignation speak through volumes. Integrity and sheer groundedness....I thank you for serving the Houses of the United Kingdom ❤
Honourable noble lord, thank you. X
More Politicians taking a hit and taking the blame for Boris' bullshit.
this is sunak, not boris
@@j-wizzy Same shit, different smell. Paying the price forr the bullshit of this corrupt Government.
People are saying he's an honourable man, but he's one of the few and he's walking away! 😱
Yeah but him leaving increases the likelihood of Boris resigning/getting kicked out
...you have an ironic point there, it's like the oxymoronic misadventures of an honourable man or something
@@bradford_shaun_murray politics I guess 🙈
Being honourable might be preventing him from making such a bold public statement. By resigning he would not be breaching any non disclosures he feels bound to, he would not be whistle blowing, but he is certainly shouting that there are serious fraud issues in the government.
@@dougaltolan3017 I think they could do with many, many more whistle-blowers that will shine light on their very dark deeds. Personally. This is what we're short of! How can you _know_ things and walk away, washing your hands of it all? I would consider heads above the parapet spilling what they know as *much more honourable*
During his entire speech not a single person shouted, jeered or laughed, almost complete silence. The house of Lords is much more sensible and proffesionla than the house of commoners- I meant commons...
It always has been. There are too many peers, because successive governments have used the Lords as the place to pay political debt. There are more Lords than seats. With some work it really could be the place that holds governments to account.
Last man turns off the lights
Boris and his crew needs to be arrested. Were are the police officers
His Blackshirts are at the gates of Downing Street protecting him, just like the royal protection unit obviously protected Andrew.
Partying.
We are losing good men like Lord Agnew when we need him most shame on our goverment.
Respect to Lord Agnew, who stood by his own truth!
Respect for someone that took 300 quid a day for doing nothing
@@bensteel3944 I respect what he has done in this instance, I apologise if I did not explain sufficiently.
For once, somebody with a sence of honor and integrity... He deserves all the respect...
He should be leading this country..
Running away from the problem and not staying to fight is the opposite of what commands respect.
U can't buy integrity.
Respect Sir . its refreshing to see such loyalty and professionalism

Good on you sir.
I wish we had politicians here in Italy with an ounce of integrity shown here and step down when its appropriate to do so and should the occasion arise.
He says his resignation isn't a mark against Johnson but he's resigning during a tumultuous period of Johnson's reign. I'm confused.
Aka, it's nothing personal, just business...
All you need to know is, that was the right thing to do
He still needs to keep his membership at his local club though.
He's covering his ass.
He is being diplomatic
The thing is I hate the House of Lords because it is fundamentally undemocratic. But then you look at the behavior in the Lords compared to the Commons and I appreciate the HoL.
Im a literal communist yet the things I admire the most in the UK "political" scene at the moment are the house of lords and the queen.
This is NOT supported for the institutions, it is an indication of the state of UK politics.
@@piccalillipit9211 what has the queen done to earn any respect
The HoL is unelected, something all brexiteers seem to miss when whinging on about the EU being an elected body. Good grief.....what a mess UK

Straight talking in the House of Lords. Makes a refreshing change from Commons.
Respect to you Sir🙏👍👏👏👏👏👏
Lord Agnew ... I respect this man.
Good to see some integrity. Notable that those with integrity leave this government.
Sadly many people with integrity are either getting away from public life or cancelled by those in charge. I don’t know if we have already moved from Democracy to another type of regime but it is clear that in many European countries the ruling class is not doing what they were voted for and as tensions arise, the far right gets stronger and stronger. Will humans ever learn?
Got to respect the man, any man who has the courage of his convictions gets my respect. I wish him the best in his political career.
“INTEGRITY”
Something that is in great scarcity in this day, amongst humanity.
Most don’t even understand what it means or that it is not a given quality.
But is built
and to be admired.
I hope Johnson actually comprehends what's gone on here, because integrity is a word he doesn't seem to be able to understand.
He don't care. Too busy choosing his next wallpaper that youre paying for
Sounds like an attack on the Govt to me
It is a attack they dont care about the Royal family they just want to find any excuse to get rid of Boris
Collin Carr: He clearly said it wasn't.
That man is the type that would make a great PM. They dont make them like that anymore. This man was shaken to the core by the corruption in the government. Cheers for Lord Agnew. Live long and prosper, sir. 🖖
Too bad the prime minister won’t resign lmao
Probably he will not, otherwise it wouln’t be him. I reckon he will be kick-out in a most humilliating way because he simply went too far and some urgent damage-control measures must be taken as soon as possible in order to gain back public trust. How sad the Brits lost the opportunity to be leaded by someone like Corbyn and have instead chosen this petty clown, but I am certain this time they will learn, will you?
Hopefully it will be the first of many resignation.
Well done Sir
Tories out!!!
They all need to resign, the bloke behind him looks like he has just woken up from a coma. He had no idea what was going on and that’s the same for most of them.
Respect
Oh wow I'm speechless 😶.
Respected!
Respect to the Lord, integrity is a rare commodity these days
Integrity was used a lot. I took that to be lord Agnew calling this government more over boris a liar. If So it about fecking time someone stood up and said look Buffon i’ve had enough your your Circus just piss off.
