It seems to imply that bering found guilty and serving your sentence long before becoming a minister means you can't be a minister.

It's bonkers, especially considering the seriousness of transgressions that Boris Johnson tried to avoid resigning for.

But then 'law breakers can't be law makers' - live by the soundbite...
