Indeed.
The fact that the person responsible for invesigating whether Tessa Jowell broke the ministerial code is the person with the most interest of keeping her in the cabinet is indeed the worst aspect of this incident. For the ministerial code to have any meaning at all, the investigations into alleged breaches of it really must become independent.
