Quick Glance: There is an urgent need for politicians to clean up their own messes | Adam Boulton
- "Ministers who knowingly mislead parliament will be expected to offer their resignation to the prime minister."
- "A straight untruth" Stephen Byers, one of Tony Blair's cabinet ministers, was found not to have committed contempt in 2001 because he "inadvertently" made a factually incorrect statement to a transport committee, according to Boris Johnson's legal team.
- Following further controversy, Mr. Byers resigned as a cabinet minister shortly afterwards.
- Mr. Johnson's case is unusual for several reasons.
- Rather than being the subject of such charges, prime ministers are usually the final arbitrator.

Quick Glance: Citigroup surpasses forecasts on greater loan income; shares rise
- Analysts were informed by Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser that the bank is preparing for a small recession later this year, which might be exacerbated by a more severe credit constraint.
- Citi's deposits were roughly steady year on year at $1.33 trillion, as investors transferred their wealth into money market funds in search of higher payouts.
- However, Fraser and Mason told analysts that the bank observed an increase in deposits in March, primarily from companies.
- Nonetheless, the bank experienced an increase in investment grade debt issuance in the first quarter and anticipates a rebound in investment banking activity in the second half of the year.
