Partygate To Drag On For Months

[Gromit]

// Sue Gray expects to complete her report into Covid law-breaking parties across Westminster at the end of May at the earliest, the Guardian has been told.

Sources said that the senior civil servant, who for months has been forced to sit on her findings about illegal gatherings while Scotland Yard carries out its own inquiry, believes the police investigation could drag on for several more weeks.

It may then take Gray a further fortnight for her to compile her report, meaning that it is possible the final version will not be delivered to No 10 for at least another month. //

The Met investigation has been very dilatory. I thought Sue Gray’s report was ready to be published in January, is she doing a rewrite?

The bad news for Boris (and us) is that partygate isn’t going away soon.
Does this put pressure on Johnson for months? Or is the slow drip drip good for him to ride out the situation ?

Who gives a ***?
Pollies writing their own rules.
What's new?

Those Tuscan breaks won't pay for themselves, just somebody kicking the *** out of a government gig.

It's how it works.

//is she doing a rewrite?//

Well that is quite possible if the Met, who are far more experienced in getting to the truth, find she was not quite correct or missed some points.

After all it does no one any good to have differing reports does it?

As for will it affect Johnson, who knows. Politics is a funny game, it could go either way.

"Is she doing a rewrite" of course she is.
That's the reason it is taking so long, She gives Boris the proofs , he reads them , doesn't like what he reads gives them back to her for rewriting after he has edited them ....end of....

[Gromit]

Sue Gray’s report was finished in January, and people viewed it then, so copies exist. It will be interesting to compare the two versions when the report is published for the public.

[youngmafbog]

It will Gromit, but my guess would be any changes would be minor and due to the Met being professional investigators. Most likely they will have delved deeper.

You do want the truth dont you?

Gromit //Partygate To Drag On For Months//

Is that a threat from you?

[Gromit]

// You do want the truth dont you? //

Yes I do.
A hundred people were investigated and 60 fines been issued and only half the 12 parties have so far been dealt with.

TBF I think Partygate is getting over taken by Basic Instgate.

[gulliver1]

Lets just hope , that when ,or if ever
the Sue Gray report is made public it will be the end of Boris and his Cunning, Scheming , Dishonest Govt.

[webbo3]

Hopefully Kier Starmers party will be reinvestigated.

[douglas9401]

Basic Instgate may turn out to be a flash in the pan.

You should come up to Scotland some time,Groms.Up here Wee Burney has the cops under her thumb.From Salmondgate to the missing £600,000 misappropriated by a leading member of the SNP,the cops up here cant/wont do a thing against these nationalists.At least the cops down in England properly investigate crimes.Up here in Scotland what Wee Burney orders the cops to do they do.
