A top Tory at the centre of a racism probe has been put in charge of MPs' standards rules in a move by Boris Johnson branded "completely inappropriate".
Mark Spencer was shifted from his role as chief whip to Commons Leader as the Prime Minister launched a mini-reshuffle to distract from Tory chaos and partygate.
But Labour has lashed out at the decision after Mr Spencer faced claims by Tory MP Nusrat Ghani last month that she lost her job as a Transport Minister because her “Muslimness had been raised as an issue”.
