With confirmation that a new ministerial code is coming soon, thought I'd update this chart: Starmer has now taken longer than every PM, apart from May, to publish his version of the code (Blair was the first to publish a Ministerial Code)
A chart from the Institute for Government showing the number of days that prime ministers have taken to publish their ministerial code after first taking office: - Blair 90 days, of which 11 were parliamentary recess - Brown 6, 0 recess - Cameron 10, 0 recess - May 161, 78 recess - Johnson 30, 29 recess - Truss did not publish a ministerial code - Sunak 58, 7 recess - Starmer 90, 55 recess
