Sue Gray now investigating the prime minister & govt over illegal lockdown parties at Downing Street…was invited to several of the lockdown parties at Downing Street.
I keep seeing people saying Boris Johnson “will definitely go in the summer”.
But power doesn’t work like that.
Especially not in Conservative party.
If majority of Tory MPs really think Johnson is going then they won’t waste time/reputation defending him for the next 6 months.

“Prime Minister did you attend any parties at Downing St. during lockdown?”
Boris
“Yes”
Sue Gray
“If you knew that why did you ask me to investigate it?”
Boris
“I was going to say “no”, but someone leaked the email invite.”
Sue Gray
“That concludes my investigation”.
At a rough estimate the number of people who knew Boris Johnson organised and attended lockdown breaking parties over the last 18 months must be well over 500 people.
All those invited, their partners and all the civil servants who organised them or heard & saw them. https://twitter.com/nicktolhurst/status/1480689091846938624
+UPDATE+
Boris Johnson organised a lockdown party with over 100 people invited…
…on the very day govt ministers were going on television to tell the population that “they can only meet one other person, if outside and 2 meters distance maintained.”

+UPDATE+
Met Police already have already had communication with Cabinet Office.
This is being reported in some quarters that an investigation has been opened into lockdown parties at Downing Street.
No official confirmation yet but would seem to suggest so.

I’ve finally worked out how the BBC balance thing works.
It’s not so much left & right…as between “ars*hole” & “nice”.
So for example the BBC books a nice vicar - Richard Coles - for a program.
Then they have to balance their nice pastor out with an ars*hole one - Giles Fraser.
Increasingly mind bendingly stupefying that Allegra Stratton resigned…
Dear Twitter friends, you will find no better an example of ‘being hoisted by one’s own petard’ (ht Shakespeare) than Boris Johnson causing his own political demise by eating a cake.
EXCLUSIVE: Boris Johnson had a birthday party during lockdown in June 2020 despite rules forbidding social gatherings indoors, ITV News has learnt.
Up to 30 staff celebrated in the cabinet room where Carrie Johnson surprised him with a cake, we're told.

WE GO LIVE TO THE SUE GRAY ENQUIRY
I cannot look at his face anymore. I’ve spent too long looking at his stupid fucking face. It’s made me ill. Like Oliver Hardy at the horn factory in Saps at Sea, except it’s Johnson’s face instead of horns. I’m going outside. I may be sometime.
