JUST IN: A report on parties at Downing Street during Covid-19 restrictions, by senior UK civil servant Sue Gray, is out. The fate of Prime Minister Boris Johnson could rest on it.
Sue Gray's report has been billed as make-or-break for Prime Minister Boris Johnson -- a damning judgment that he broke his own pandemic rules could turn his party against him and force him from office.
Their own investigation means we won't see Gray's full findings today -- and that leaves several areas of confusion on the road ahead.Gray is understood to have delivered some overarching findings to Downing Street, without details on several events that the police are probing. If this version of her investigation is underwhelming, the government will likely try to draw a line under the scandal.
Downing Street has always said it will publish whatever Gray sends it, but on Monday a spokesperson said they will"keep under review" whether to put the full, unredacted report in the public domain. He will likely be hoping that Monday's findings give him enough leeway to move on from the scandal, possibly by promising a reform of Downing Street culture but refusing to resign.Will this end Johnson's premiership?
