Sadly, as with all the other shit that has tried to hit the fan with this current joke government, they'll just pass it off as another day at the office.

MPs have been told that Christopher Pincher, the junior housing minister, will answer questions in Mr Jenrick’s place – with no explanation given.

Quelle surprise, another weak and spineless Cabinet Minister.

just face the questions, it never looks good to avoid, the issue doesnt go away. they never seem to learn.

They'll justify it all in that term he has used 'apparent bias' - that is - 'I wasn't influenced, but I can see how someone outside might think I could have been, so there's nothing to explain'. Dodgy all-round, but when legally advised like this, he's almost certain to get away with it.

Still strikes me as ironic that the housing minister responsible for getting enough houses built for the population, occupies three himself - thereby depriving two households of a property.

a galaxy far far away
It's an endless cycle

Tories win election
Tories prove to be self-serving, corrupt and incompetent
Tories promise to undercut other parties on tax and throw out as many brown people as possible
Electorate decide this is what matters most to them
Tories win election

They don't "learn" because they feel they have done nothing wrong!

They believe rules and common decency are for the great unwashed voting public, while as elected officers they have free rein to do what they like and bugger the consequences...

Spending rules broken when he was elected in a 2014 by-election.
Flouted lock-down restrictions.
Charges taxpayers £100,000 for a third home he hardly uses.
Now this and he won't answer questions in parliament about it.

Obviously a fine career as a Tory MP is now well into the ascendancy for The Right Honourable member for Newark and there's nothing to see hear as his integrity and probity is beyond reproach.

The issue being that they don't care what it looks like - that's only a perception.

All they need to do is hide the smoking gun, or pretend the smoking gun doesn't exist. Then they can claim they've done nothing wrong.

The bar for culpability gets higher and higher, and seeing as they lack a shame gene, it will rarely be cleared.

And the usual numpties on NSC will be up soon to offer some whataboutery.

Yeah.

Depressing, but true.

And in the last few years they also promised to get rid of all those annoyingly hard-working Polish plumbers, Romanian fruit-pickers, Portuguese nurses and French entrepreneurs apparently clogging up our welfare system. It's not just brown faces they don't like....
