...there, you've heard it from the horses mouth. I bet Rodders is hoping that it is a porky on this occasion!

If Johnson was innocent of misleading Parliament then he would want an investigation as soon as possible. The fact that he is seeking to delay an investigation for as long as possible is a sign of desperation.
The police investigation, and the Sue Grey report have nothing to do with the charge that he lied in Parliament. The Police and Sue Grey have not investigated that, so it makes absolutely no sense to wait for those to be concluded.
What Johnson is doing is running away, hoping that people will get bored of the matter and let him get away with it. Misleading Parliament is a serious charge, not a piddling fine. The ministerial code says he should resign if he is guilty as charged. That is why he wants to delay, delay, delay.
(There was always something fishy about the Sue Grey Report being suppressed at the eleventh hour).

// Boris Johnson suffered humiliating blows to his authority after MPs backed a formal investigation to look at whether he lied to parliament, and senior party figures made new calls for him to resign.
The prime minister will now be investigated by a Commons committee over claims he misled MPs about lockdown parties – a potential resigning matter under the ministerial code.
The move came after the government tried to delay the inquiry only to make a U-turn hours later amid a backlash.
Speaking during a Commons debate after chaotic scenes in Westminster, the former Brexit minister Steve Baker, an influential figure among Conservatives, said he was appalled by Johnson’s private attitude towards the fine he had received for breaches of Covid rules and said the prime minister “now should be long gone”. //
All very unseemly. The beginning of the end.
