The Met has pledged to investigate allegations of lockdown-breaching parties at No10 'without fear or favour', confirming it has received 'material' from the Cabinet Office.

The move was questioned by a senior police source, who told LBC it would be unusual if officers guarding Downing Street had not already passed information up to their bosses.

"It is terribly straight forward – there's lots of cops about, there's lots of dairies… I would line the cops up [and ask them if they knew anything].Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said on a visit to Glasgow: “The prime minister is spending all this time arguing about whether this report should be redacted or not in relation to criminal proceedings into his breach of the laws.

Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said: "So first the police were waiting for Sue Gray, now Sue Gray has to wait for the police? The PM has faced repeated calls to resign over the saga, including from some backbench Tory MPs and Scottish Conservatives.He has signalled his determination to fight on, telling critics to wait for Ms Gray’s report, whilst saying he does not believe he fell foul of the law.

Speaking on Thursday, Mr Johnson said he was "absolutely not" delaying Ms Gray's report publication, and when asked if he would publish it in full he told reporters: "Of course."

Yawn

Remember Johnson told Parliament “all rules has been followed”. He doesn’t need to be prosecuted to have to resign. If others broke the law he lied to Parliament 🥾🥾🥾

What about checking out all people that got full income in pandemic while others got very little

Utter bollocks. And they’ll take weeks to tell us nothing.

This is nothing short of cynically concerted obstruction between Cressida Dick and Boris Johnson! If this appalling interference is allowed to prevail, democracy as we once perceived it, it will have been proven to have been consigned to the dustbin!

The metpoliceuk should be investigated by another police force. Institutional corruption and not even pretending any more

Partygate report 'should have minimal reference to potential crimes'In an extraordinary shift, it has emerged that police have told the Cabinet Office the long-awaited report should feature 'minimal reference' to the most serious lockdown breaches. THIS should be your headline along with 8 or 9 side stories! We've waited for this report, and now that corruption has squashed the report about PARTYGATE, to NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING ABOUT PARTYGATE, THIS should be today's HUGE breaking story, and you put 1 medium sized story out Has nobody bothered to Google or Wiki the fact that Cressida Dick and Boris Johnson went to the same Oxford college? 2/2 times and is an outright liar. This is seen on tele/internet children and young people see it and rightfully say 'why should we follow the law when the people that made them don't?' Tories are the party for the family and the rule of law...Rhubarb.
