Former British Prime Minister Sir John Major has launched a scathing attack on the incumbent Boris Johnson over his treatment of the Parliament.
Major insisted that Johnson was “politically corrupt” with his dealings.
“I’m afraid that the Government, with their over-large majority, do tend to treat Parliament with contempt. And if that continues, it will end badly,” he told BBC Radio 4’s on Saturday.
“They bypass Parliament at will and the Speaker has expressed his frustration about that on many occasions, and rightly so.
“But they also behaved badly in other ways that are perhaps politically corrupt.”
That included briefing announcements to sections of the press before MPs.
Sir John Major suggested there was an arrogance at the heart of Boris Johnson’s administration.
“There is a general whiff of ‘we are the masters now’ about their behaviour,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Saturday.
“I have been a Conservative all my life and if I am concerned at how the Government is behaving I suspect lots of other people are as well.
Johnson and the upper chambers have had different views on some topical areas like Coronavirus and Racism to name a few.
